Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 1, scene 2.

CASCA. I can as well be hanged as tell the manner of it.
It was mere foolery, I did not mark it. I saw Mark
Antony offer him a crown—yet 'twas not a crown
neither, 'twas one of these coronets—and, as I told245
you he put it by once; but, for all that, to my
thinking he would fain have had it. Then he
offered it to him again; then he put it by again—
but to my thinking he was very loath to lay his
fingers off it. And then he offered it the third250
time; he put it the third time by. And still as he
refused it, the rabblement hooted, and clapped their
chapped hands, and threw up their sweaty nightcaps
and uttered such a deal of stinking breath because
Caesar refused the crown that it had almost choked260
Caesar; for he swooned and fell down at it. And
for mine own part, I durst not laugh for fear of
opening my lips and receiving the bad air.

Respuesta :

The correct answers are: sight: "swooned and fell down", sound: "the rabblement hooted", touch: "chapped hands".

Indeed, this figurative language of contempt is aimed to incite repulsion towards Caesar and the Roman populace. The chapped hands are chapped because of heavy manual work and the use of such language is very Classist. The Patrician clearly shrinks in disgust at the idea of ever being touched by one of these poor “chapped hands”.

Their sound is also hideous for him, the term “rabblement” in highly demeaning as it qualifies them as rabble. The Term “hooted” even deprives them of their humanity since it is usually used for animals.

It is clear that Caesar did not literally “swoon and fell down” due to the populace’s odor, but the figurative language implies that Caesar is a hypocrite because he is just as disgusted as the other Patricians by the proximity of the populace.

Julius Caesar was the first member of Triumvirate and also was the leader of roman armies and he was also the general and the statesman of the Roman . He was the dictator of the Rome.
