Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 1, of Julius Caesar
[CAESAR. So in the world: 'tis furnished well with men,
And men are flesh and blood, and apprehensive;
Yet in the number I do know but one
That unassailable holds on his rank,
Unshaked of motion; and that I am he
Let me a little show it even in this-
That I was constant Cimber should be banished,
And constant do remain to keep him so.
O Caesar says that he will eventually release Cimber
from exile because "men are flesh and blood, and
apprehensive," and he thinks that all men deserve
forgiveness.
O Caesar explains that we are all flesh and blood and
also apprehensive. He does not know any man who
cannot be moved by reason, except possibly one.
O Caesar refuses to reverse Cimber's banishment. He
says that, although the world is full of reasonable men,
he is the only one who stands firm, and he will stick
by his sentence to prove it.
O Caesar explains that the world is full of men who are
flesh and blood. They are capable of letting reason
change their minds, and occasionally he is one of
them who does change his mind. Because Cimber
made a good argument, he will reverse his decision.
