Question

[BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the assassination of Julius Caesar and the struggle for power that ensued. The play deals with themes of loyalty, greed, power, fate, honor, etc.

In the given monologues from both Antony and Brutus, the two "friends" of Julius Caesar spoke of Brutus and how different they viewed each other. By asking rhetorical questions, Brutus and Antony spoke of the Caesar they know, the person they are proud to call a friend. But at the same time, both used these rhetorical questions to make their points, that Caesar was a great man and that his death was a tragedy.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
