Which quotation from Julius Caesar is an example of a historical allusion?
O "MARULLUS. But what trade art thou? Answer me directly. I COBBLER. A trade, sir, that I hope I may use
with a safe / conscience, which is indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles." (act 1, scene 1)
"These growing feathers plucked from Caesar's wing / Will make him fly an ordinary pitch. / Who else would
soar above the view of men /And keep us all in servile fearfulness." (act 1, scene 1)
O "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." (act 1, scene 3)
O "What tributaries follow him to Rome / To grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels? / You blocks, you
stones, you worse than senseless things! / 0. you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, I knew you not
Pompey?" (act 1, scene 1)
