Abel
BRUTUS No man bears sorrow better. Portia is dead.
CASSIUS. Ha! Portia?
BRUTUS. She is dead.
CASSIUS. How scaped I killing when I crossed you
so?
O insupportable and touching loss!
Upon what sickness?
O Brutus's decision to join the conspiracy has led to a
catharsis, Cassius making him angry
O Brutus's decision to join the conspiracy has led to a
catastrophe, Lepidus being disgarded by Antony
and Octavius
O Brutus's decision to join the conspiracy has led to a
tragic flaw, Cassius making him angry.
O Brutus's decision to join the conspiracy has led to a
catharsis, the confrontation of Antony and Octavius
BRUTUS. Impatient of my absence,
And grief that young Octavius with Mark Antony
Have made themselves so strong—for with her death
That tidings came. With this, she fell distraught,
And, her attendants absent, swallowed fire.
CASSIUS

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
