Question 2 • CREDIT RECOVERY - ELA 9 - Summer

Which tension between characters reflects the theme of ambition in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?

Answer
A
the tension between Caesar and Cassius
B
the tension between Artemidorus and the soothsayer
C
the tension between Calpurnia and Artemidorus
D
the tension between the soothsayer and Calpurnia

Explanation

The tension between Caesar and Cassius reflects ambition because Cassius resents Caesar’s growing power and status. He helps organize the conspiracy to assassinate Caesar, hoping to prevent one man from becoming too powerful and to advance his own political aims. The other pairs are connected mainly to warnings about danger, not to the central conflict over political ambition.
