Question

Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of Julius Caesar.

Answer 1

Answer:

Brutus says he does not want to be seen as a butcher, but that is what the Romans will remember after he stabs  his friend.

Explanation:

Verbal irony is a figure of speech when one thing is said but the exact opposite happens. In other words, we can say verbal irony is when what is said and what is done are contrary to each other.

In the given excerpt from William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", Brutus' declaration of "let us be sacrificers, not butchers" is an example of verbal irony. This is because his expression is contrary to what he had done after "butchering" his friend Caesar.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
