The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Part 3: Drawing Conclusions

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

Which piece of evidence best supports the theme that there is honor in defeat?

Answer
A
“Farewell to you, and you, and you, Volumnius.”
B
“Countrymen, / My heart doth joy that yet in all my life / I found no man but he was true to me.”
C
“I shall have glory by this losing day, / More than Octavius and Mark Antony”
D
“So fare you well at once, for Brutus’ tongue / Hath almost ended his life’s history.”

Explanation

Brutus says, “I shall have glory by this losing day,” meaning that even though he is losing the battle, he believes his conduct will bring him honor. The contrast between his defeat and the glory he expects most directly supports the theme that there is honor in defeat. The other choices focus on farewells or his loyalty to others rather than finding honor in losing.
