Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of Julius Caesar.

BRUTUS. No, Cassius, no:
Think not, thou noble Roman,
That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome.
He bears too great a mind. But this same day
Must end that work the ides of March begun;
And whether we shall meet again I know not.
Therefore our everlasting farewell take.
Forever and forever farewell, Cassius.
If we do meet again, why, we shall smile.
If not, why then, this parting was well made.

How does Shakespeare’s use of the word everlasting most affect the meaning of this passage?

It shifts the focus to the men’s consistently loyal friendship.
It creates a positive and optimistic view of the future.
It suggests that they will not meet again.
It highlights their plan to escape their enemy and flee to another country.


Sagot :

Answer: It suggests that they will not meet again.

Explanation:

After Brutus, Cassius and other Senators stabbed and killed Julius Caesar, the people turned against them after a speech by Mark Anthony played up the magnanimity of Julius Caesar. They therefore fled Rome and raised armies rather than be captured.

In this except from Julius Caesar, they say their farewells to each other with the word, "everlasting" suggesting that this may be the last time that they would meet because should they die, there would be no other farewells.
