Julius Caesar Act 1 Scene 3 workbook answers
Read the extracts given below and answer the questions that follow:
I.
Casca
Are you not moved when all the sway of earth
Shakes like a thing infirm? O Cicero,
I have seen tempests when the scolding winds
Have rived the knotty oaks, and I have seen
Th’ ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam
To be exalted with the threat’ning clouds;
But never till to-night, never till now,
Did I go through a tempest dropping fire.
Answers:
i) Casca is in a public place in Rome at this time. He has come there in a state of anxiety, having witnessed strange and unnatural occurrences in the city. He is speaking to Cicero, a prominent Roman politician and orator.
ii) a) The phrase “all the sway of earth/Shakes like a thing unfirm” means that the entire earth is shaking as if it is unstable and unreliable.
b) The phrase “To ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam, / To be exalted with the threatening clouds” means that the ocean is rising and becoming agitated, as if it is trying to match the fury of the storm clouds.
iii) The “scolding winds” are strong, harsh winds that blow during the storm. They whip up the sea and cause the trees to bend and sway.
iv) Casca saw a slave’s hand that was on fire but did not burn. He includes this detail immediately after the extract about the calamities to emphasize how strange and inexplicable the events of the night were.
v) The next day is supposed to be the day when Caesar is to be crowned king. It will be a fatal day because some Romans fear that Caesar will become a tyrant and destroy the Roman Republic. A soothsayer had warned Caesar to beware the Ides of March (March 15), which is the day of Caesar’s assassination.
Julius Caesar Act 1 Scene 3 workbook answers
Read the extracts given below and answer the questions that follow:
II.
Cicero: Why, saw you anything more wonderful?
Casca: A common slave (you know him well by sight)
Held up his left hand, which did flame and burn
Like twenty torches joined; and yet his hand,
Not sensible of fire, remained unscorched.
Answers:
i. Casca is at a public place in Rome, in a state of awe and wonder at the strange and unusual natural phenomena he has just witnessed. He is speaking to Cicero, a renowned philosopher and statesman.
ii. a) “all the sway of earth/Shakes like a thing unfirm” means that the earth trembles and shakes as if it is unstable and unsure of itself. b) “To ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam, To be exalted with the threatening clouds” means that the ocean becomes turbulent and agitated, as if it is trying to rise up and join the clouds in a show of force.
iii. Casca believes that these unnatural events are a sign of something terrible about to happen. He thinks that the gods are angry and are trying to warn the people of Rome. Cassius uses Casca’s belief to his advantage, convincing him that these events are a sign that Caesar must be stopped before he becomes too powerful.
iv. Cicero believes that the unnatural events are simply the result of the chaos and disorder of the world, and that they should not be given any special significance. This is a contrast to Casca’s belief that these events are a warning from the gods.
v. The strange events have a profound impact on the audience, who are frightened and believe that something terrible is about to happen. However, they have no effect on Caesar, who remains oblivious to the warnings and continues on with his plans for the future.
Julius Caesar Act 1 Scene 3 workbook answers
Read the extracts given below and answer the questions that follow:
III.
Cassius: I know where I will wear this dagger then;
Cassius from bondage will deliver Cassius.
Therein, ye gods, you make the weak most strong;
Therein, ye gods, you tyrants do defeat.
Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass,
Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron,
Can be retentive to the strength of spirit;
Answers:
i) The group of people planning on the following day is the Roman senate, who are planning to crown Caesar as king. Cassius tries to prevent this plan by convincing Brutus to join the conspiracy and to assassinate Caesar before he can become too powerful.
ii) Cassius says that the Romans now do not have manly courage because they have become too submissive and passive in the face of Caesar’s rise to power. He believes that they have lost their sense of honor and independence.
iii) (a) “Cassius from bondage will deliver Cassius” means that Cassius will free himself from the bondage of Caesar’s tyranny by taking action and conspiring against him.
(b) “Therein ye gods, you tyrants do defeat” means that the gods will defeat the tyrants who seek to oppress the people and take away their freedom.
iv) Cassius says that the “strength of the spirit” is more important than physical strength or bravery in battle. He believes that if one has the will to act and to fight for what is right, then they can achieve anything.
v) Cassius shows his zealous love for freedom and democracy by speaking out against Caesar’s potential coronation as king and by urging Brutus to join the conspiracy. He believes that the Roman people deserve to have a say in their government and that they should not be ruled by a single person.
Julius Caesar Act 1 Scene 3 workbook answers
Read the extracts given below and answer the questions that follow:
IV.
Cassius: And why should Caesar be a tyrant then?
Poor man! I know he would not be a wolf
But that he sees the Romans are but sheep;
He were no lion, were not Romans hinds.
Those that with haste will make a mighty fire
Behind it with weak straws. What trash is Rome,
What rubbish and what offal, when it serves
For the base matter to illuminate
So vile a thing as Caesar!
Answers:
i) The poor man referred to is Caesar. Cassius says that if Caesar had not been born into a position of power, he would have been no different from a wolf or a lion.
ii) The sentence “those that with haste will make a mighty fire, begin it with weak straws” refers to Caesar because Cassius is saying that despite Caesar’s seemingly insignificant and weak appearance, he has managed to gain power and influence. Cassius considers Caesar “vile” because he believes that Caesar is no better than any other man and does not deserve to be in a position of power over others.
iii) Cassius blames Rome for allowing Caesar to rise to power. He argues that Caesar has become great because Rome has allowed it. Cassius gives three reasons for Caesar’s greatness: Caesar is a great warrior, he has defeated his enemies in battle, and he has won the favor of the people through his generosity.
iv) Casca extends his hand to Cassius as a sign of fellowship, and says that he is willing to follow Cassius wherever he goes.
v) Cassius and Casca must keep an appointment later that night to meet with other conspirators who are plotting against Caesar. They will meet at Pompey’s Porch, and the purpose of their meeting is to finalize their plans for the assassination of Caesar.
Julius Caesar Act 1 Scene 3 workbook answers
Read the extracts given below and answer the questions that follow:
V.
Cinna: I am glad on’t. What a fearful night is this!
There’s two or three of us have seen strange sights.
Cassius: Am I not stayed for? Tell me.
Cinna: Yes, you are. O Cassius, if you could
But win the noble Brutus to our party —
Cassius: Be you content. Good Cinna, take this paper …….
Answers:
i.) Cinna and Cassius are in a street in Rome. They are accompanied by Casca, who had just left them to go home.
ii.) Cinna says “I am glad on’t” because he has found out that Brutus is also dissatisfied with Caesar’s power and rule, which means they have a potential ally in their plot against Caesar. He is here to deliver forged letters to Brutus, in an attempt to persuade him to join their conspiracy.
iii.) Casca is the person who describes the “fearful night”. Two “strange sights” he had seen earlier in this scene were a slave’s hand catching fire but not burning, and a lioness giving birth in the streets.
iv.) “Stay’d for” means to be expected or awaited. Cassius asked the question “Am I not stay’d for?” to confirm if someone was waiting for him.
v.) Cinna is eager for Brutus to join the party because he is an influential and respected figure in Rome, and his support would give credibility to their cause. When Cassius says “be you content”, he means that Cinna should trust him and follow his lead. Cassius instructs Cinna to leave the forged letters in a prominent place where Brutus will find them, in the hope that he will read them and join their cause.
