The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Part 4: Monologues

Question 4 • [ELA10] ELA 10, Sem 2 (26-27)

Which quotations support the central idea that if Antony were to be killed, he would be honored to die now, after Caesar? Select three options.

Answer
A
“O mighty Caesar! Dost thou lie so low? / Are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, / Shrunk to this little measure?”
B
“I know not, gentlemen, what you intend— / Who else must be let blood, who else is rank.”
C
“If I myself, there is no hour so fit / As Caesar’s death hour, nor no instrument / Of half that worth as those your swords”
D
“Live a thousand years, / I shall not find myself so apt to die.”
E
“No place will please me so, no mean of death, / As here by Caesar, and by you cut off”

Explanation

Antony says that no time or weapon would be as fitting for his death as the moment and swords involved in Caesar’s death. In C, he calls Caesar’s death hour and the conspirators’ swords especially worthy; D says he could not find himself so ready to die again; and E says he would choose to die beside Caesar, killed by the conspirators. Together, these quotations show that Antony would feel honored to die then, after Caesar.
