Answer:
It introduces opposition to Caesar.
Explanation:
The proposed excerpt is from the end of Act I scene i of "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare-
<em>[FLAVIUS.] Go you down that way towards the Capitol;
</em>
<em>This way will I. Disrobe the images,
</em>
<em>If you do find them decked with ceremonies.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>MARULLUS. May we do so? </em>
<em>You know it is the feast of Lupercal.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>FLAVIUS. It is no matter; let no images
</em>
<em>Be hung with Caesar's trophies. I'll about,
</em>
<em>And drive away the vulgar from the streets:
</em>
<em>So do you too, where you perceive them thick.
</em>
<em>These growing feathers plucked from Caesar's wing
</em>
<em>Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
</em>
<em>Who else would soar above the view of men,
</em>
<em>And keep us all in servile fearfulness. [Exeunt]</em>
<em />
In this excerpt, Flavius and Marullus had just scolded the commoners for celebrating the victory of Caesar. They told them to regret they ever felt about it, and sent them home to repent. This scene in particular, shows the very first opposition to the rise of Caesar. While the commoners were happy to welcome Caesar after his triumph in the war, there are some who would rather see him defeated.
Thus, this scene provides the introduction to the forces opposing Julius Caesar's reign and rise in power.
