In this quote from Act II, Scene I,  of "Julius Caesar", by William Shakespeare, based on the simile made by Brutus, the reason for assassinating Caesar is that he can become more dangerous to Rome than he is now, and it seems better to Brutus to assassinate him before he does his dangerous deed. It is like killing a serpent's egg while it is still in the shell before it can harm anybody.

Just an assumption but I study theatre and have read this play.

Brutus' reasoning for assassinating Caesar, as stated in the metaphor, is backed by his belief that Caesar's rise to power could lead to deadly consequences. Like a serpent's unhatched egg, Caesar seems benevolent at the time, but he could very well end up taking advantage of his power and using it against his kingdom and harming innocent people.

Hope that helps!

Answer:

Hygge is like coziness. For example it would be lying down under a blanket to watch a movie with hot chocolate. It gives you a sense of well-being. Happiness is pure joy. An example would be going to an amusement park with your friends. So they both make you have a sense of well-being, but one is coziness and one is joy.
