Answer:

c. Make the crowd see that Caesar was not a tyrant.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the killing of Julius Caesar and the fight for the power of Rome among the leaders. The play deals with themes of loyalty, greed, power, government, good vs evil, appearance, and reality, etc.

Antony's speech at the funeral of Caesar was not done to openly criticize the murderers and conspirators. Instead, he termed them "honorable men" while his tone and expression say otherwise. He expresses his belief that Caesar was not a tyrant and "over-ambitious" like Brutus claimed. But rather, Caesar was one who deemed all of them as his family, as his "heirs". Moreover, he points out that he (Caesar) denied the crown thrice, which is suggestive of his humility and not something that a tyrant would do.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.

Why did Roosevelt propose a second New Deal?

djverab [1.8K]

1935 was wavering. The economy was at a seemingly brink of risk and Roosevelt was not going to let it plunder. Many said that the "New Deal" wasn't working well enough and thought that what they saw was the government taking over. May 1935 came around and it hit its all time low. The National Industrial Recovery Act was a key piece of New Deal legislation. However, in 1935, the supreme court struck it down. Roosevelt wasn't having any of this and so he made the Second New Deal which proposed many new parts of legislation, including Social Security.
