A. present the characters and the situation
Answer:
Invokes a common cultural allusion.
Explanation:
In Iron Maiden's song "The Evil that Man Do", the lyrics go as <em>"the evil that man do lives on and on"</em>. This is an allusion to the famous play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare.
In the play, Mark Antony comments on how a man's evil deeds continue to live on while the good deeds are not remembered after his death. Likewise, Iron Maiden's lyrics also state the same thing, that the evil deeds live on and on. This is an attempt by the heavy metal band to emphasize the point by invoking a common cultural allusion, taking the tragic play into their own song.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
