How does Shakespeare's use of triumph instead of victory
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

A. It shows that Cassius thinks that Brutus is too optimistic.

Explanation:

Shakespeare's use of triumph instead of victory in the excerpt in the passage affects its meaning because it shows that Cassius thinks Brutus is too optimistic, that is, Brutus expect they would win the war.

Cassius is trying to ask Brutus if he could face the humiliation of losing the battle and be led through the street of Time as trophy.

This means that there are two consequences of fighting a war, either to lose or to win.

Loosing means to be paraded as trophy and winning means to parade the losers as trophy.

My great grandfather worked in the coal mines as a child. At the time, he was sinewy and though he was small, he was very strong. There was very little repose. He said the workers had very little time to rest, and they were worked to the bone day in and day out. He showed me the scars he still possessed from those days, and with very little rest in that time, he could never really outgrew his lean figure. Would he have been brawny and strong like the men of today if he had rested from work? I could not imagine my great grandfather being anywhere near muscular even if he was young.

Hope this helped! With these kind of assignments you wanna make sure you show you understand the definitions.

ron is writing an analytical essay on the play Romeo and Juliet. Why would he most likely benefit from seeing a live performance
34kurt

He would benefit from seeing a live performance because he could then see experienced actors play out the emotions, therefore giving him a more in-depth look on the feelings. This would make his essay much more fleshed out and analytical.
