The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Part 4: Monologues

Question 141720 • [ELA10] ELA 10, Sem 2 (26-27)

Which line supports the central idea that Antony does not understand the conspirators’ motives?

Answer
A
“Antony, beg not your death of us!”
B
“You see we do, yet see you but our hands, And this the bleeding business they have done.”
C
“Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful; And pity to the general wrong of Rome”
D
“To you our swords have leaden points, Mark Antony.”

Explanation

The conspirators explain that Antony can see what they have done, but he cannot see their hearts or understand their motives. In “Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful; / And pity to the general wrong of Rome,” they say their actions come from pity for Rome, not personal cruelty. This directly supports the idea that Antony does not understand why they acted.
