English

Answer:

His bet, in addition to supporting the wife, is something he cannot predict.

Explanation:

Smiley bets against the health of Parson Walker's wife, which is already incongruous, because it makes him cheer against a person, wishing that he does not win the disease, that is, wishing that he die. In addition, he bets on something completely random that he has no control over, besides being completely irrelevant to him, since he won nothing by losing or winning the bet.

BRUTUS:
Elodia [21]

In the soliloquy in Act 2 Scene 1 in the tragedy of Julius Caesar explains Brutus' involvement in the assassination plot against Caesar as he thinks about the consequences if Caesar is crowned. He compares the crowning procedure of Caesar to that of the hatching of a serpent from the egg. He assumes that when Caesar would become the king of Rome he will show his cruel nature and bring destruction to the people of Rome. Hence, Brutus joins the conspiracy against Caesar in order to prevent Rome from the ambitious nature of Caesar in the coming future. While addressing the crowd after the murder of Caesar, Brutus says that he has killed Caesar because of his growing ambition which would be very harmful to the citizens of Rome. He adds that he would never accept that because of one person the whole of the Roman empire would be trapped in the web of slavery.
