Question

An example of foreshadowing in Julius Caesar, explain why its foreshadowing.

Answer 1

Act 1, scene 1 -two Roman tribunes, named Flavius and Marrulus decide to pull decorations off Ceasar's statues. The tribunes are angry that the commoners are celebrating Caesar and believe that the celebrations will go to Ceasar's head. Flavius says 'These growing feathers pluck' d from Ceasar's wing. Will make him fly an ordinary pitch. Who else would soar above the view of men.' The idea of taking Ceasar down and stopping him from flying foreshadows the conspiracy to kill him.
