The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Part 3: Drawing Conclusions

Question 2 • [ELA10] ELA 10, Sem 2 (26-27)

What does Caesar do when Antony presents him with a crown? | How does this example show that Caesar is not ambitious? | What does this example suggest about Brutus’s character?

Answer
A
An ambitious person would have accepted the crown.
B
An ambitious person would not have accepted the crown.
C
An ambitious person would have arrested the person who offered.

Explanation

When Antony offers Caesar a crown, Caesar refuses it, though he does so more than once. Brutus treats this refusal as evidence that Caesar is not ambitious, reasoning that an ambitious person would have accepted the crown. This also suggests Brutus is trusting and may judge Caesar by appearances rather than considering that the refusal could be a performance.
