The author portrays Theseus as a flawed human being. In early adventures, Theseus proved that he was a 'hero' but it wasn't until he slew the minotaur he became a legend, the living embodiment of braveness. However the author also made sure to mention that he deserted Princess Ariadne and even killed her father without much thought in order to allow the reader to understand that this so called hero although brave is far from perfect.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

D.He shakes their hands says he’ll allow the conspirators to prove their actions were justified.

Explanation:

The question refers to the Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar". After the conspirators assassinated Caesar, they invited Anthony to decide his faith.

Deeply saddened by his friend's brutal slaughter, he's not convinced that the conspirators' act was justified.

Realizing that the only way to avenge Caesar's death is to make false allegiance to them, he initiates a friendly gesture of handshake.

In this way, he symbolically marks them as culprits and makes them targets for his vengeance
