Question

Read the passage below carefully and then choose the correct answer.

Answer 1

He had a fever when he was in Spain,
And when the fit was on him, I did mark
How he did shake: 'tis true, this god did shake;
His coward lips did from their colour fly,
And that same eye whose bend doth awe the world
Did lose his luster: I did hear him groan:
Ay, and that tongue of his that bade the Romans
Mark him and write his speeches in their books,
Alas, it cried 'Give me some drink, Titinius,'
As a sick girl. Ye gods, it doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.

To what does Cassius compare Caesar in this speech?

A palm tree
A Roman
A little girl
A Spaniard

I think either a Roman or a Spaniard....

Answer 12

i remmemberred i had a same question in my course

Answer 13

The reason why I think its the sick girl is because Cassius in this poem is describing a time when he was with Caesar and Caesar was sick. He was amazed at the vulnerability of this great general. I studied the relationship between Cassius and Caesar last year, and this answer seems to match my knowledge the best. Hope this helps! @sleepyjess
