Read the passage. Then answer the question that
follows.
CALPURNIA. A lioness hath whelpèd in the streets,
And graves have yawned, and yielded up their dead.
Fierce fiery warriors fight upon the clouds,
In ranks and squadrons and right form of war,
Which drizzled blood upon the Capitol.
The noise of battle hurtled in the air,
Horses do neigh, and dying men did groan,
And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets.
O Caesar, these things are beyond all use,
And I do fear them.
CAESAR. What can be avoided
Whose end is purposed by the mighty gods?
Yet Caesar shall go forth, for these predictions
Keeping in mind the symbolism in this passage, what is
the best interpretation of Caesar's attitude about his
possible death?
His name will live on it glory when he dies.
These omens relate to other people, too.
He believes the predictions are false.
O His end will be decided by the gods.
