TIM Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of Julius Caesar.
Abc
[BRUTUS.] Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius.
We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar,
And in the spirit of men there is no blood.
O, that we then could come by Caesar's spirit,
And not dismember Caesar!
Why is this passage an example of verbal irony?
O Brutus wants to stand up to the spirit of Caesar.
O Brutus wants Caius to be the one to kill Caesar.
O Brutus does not want to be a butcher but has to dismerkper Caesar.
O Brutus is later dismembered by Caius.

Which two lines in this sonnet use symbolism to describe old age? sonnet 2 by william shakespeare when forty winters shall besiege thy brow, and dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field, thy youth's proud livery so gazed on now, will be a totter'd weed of small worth held: then being asked, where all thy beauty lies, where all the treasure of thy lusty days; to say, within thine own deep sunken eyes, were an all-eating shame, and thriftless praise. how much more praise deserv'd thy beauty's use, if thou couldst answer 'this fair child of mine shall sum my count, and make my old excuse,' proving his beauty by succession thine! this were to be new made when thou art old, and see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.
