Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 3, of The Tragedy of
Julius Caesar
What moral dilemma does this excerpt express?
Titinius feels guilty that Cassius is dead, and decides he
must kill himself.
MESSALA. Seek him, Titinius, whilst I go to meet
The noble Brutus, thrusting this report
Into his ears. I may say, "thrusting" it,
For piercing steel and darts envenomed
Shall be as welcome to the ears of Brutus
As tidings of this sight.
Brutus feels guilty that Cassius is dead, and decides to
give him a garland.
Messala has to decide whether to tell Brutus about
Cassius or to kill Pindarus.
Titinius has to decide whether to tell Brutus about Cassius
or to kill Pindarus.
TITINIUS. Hie you, Messala,
And I will seek for Pindarus the while.
LEXIR MESSALA
Why didst thou send me forth, brave Cassius?
Did I not meet thy friends, and did not they
Put on my brows this wreath of victory.
And lid me give it thee? Didst thou not hear their shouts?
Alas, thou hast misconstrued everything!
