Explanation: In "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", by William Shakespeare Cassius interprets the sign of ravens circling overhead the day of the battle as <u><em>a bad omen for the battle's outcome</em></u>. He thinks the raven and crows are looking at them as "sickly prays".
At the end of "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", <u><em>Antony survives the battle and declares Brutus the most noble Roman</em></u>. He states that the conspirators have assassinated Caesar because of envy but Brutus did it for the sake of Rome and the common good.
