Question

Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of Julius Caesar.

Answer 1

A reward for a life well-lived is worth sacrifice. In this excerpt from Julius Caesar, it discusses what Cassius believes is fate, that they will loose power, and they are loosing the Eagles “strong bravery.” Regardless of the terrible acts Cassius had made throughout the play he comes to the possibility of this fate of becoming “ghosts,” and let’s this experience he witnessed simmer as a sign. Cassius had manipulated Brutus and has betrayed him, coming to this moment and realizing this possible fate he closes it and admits to his faults, not leaving it alone. Leading to this appeal of ‘a life well lived,’ not running away from what is clear as day of this possible fate, but admitting to this possible fate of death, not running away from it.
