Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of julius caesar.

[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?

brutus wants to stand up to the spirit of caesar.
brutus wants caius to be the one to kill caesar.
brutus does not want to be a butcher but has to dismember caesar.
brutus is later dismembered by caius.

Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v of romeo and juliet. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: 15 therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. friar laurence is motivated to offer this warning because he knows that something bad will certainly happen to the lovers. feels that romeo is acting foolishly and should not get married. enjoys giving advice because he is wise and can others. wants to caution romeo about the consequences of his actions.

Buck did not cry out. he did not check himself, but drove in upon spitz, shoulder to shoulder, so hard that he missed the throat. they rolled over and over in the powdery snow. spitz gained his feet almost as though he had not been overthrown, slashing buck down the shoulder and leaping clear. twice his teeth clipped together, like the steel jaws of a trap, as he backed away for better footing, with lean and lifting lips that writhed and snarled. read this passage. explain what the conflict shows about buck and spitz.
