The Ultimate Julius Caesar Quiz | Shakespeare

Answer: Flavius

The play starts out with a little background and then Flavius comes on and says, "Hence! Home you idle creatures, get you home. Is this a holiday? What! Know you not, being mechanical, you ought not walk upon a laboring day without the sign of your profession? (Stopping someone) What trade are you?

Answer: Cassius

Cassius starts talking to Brutus after Caesar is warned by the soothsayer to beware the Ides of March. Cassius talks about how much of a good and noble friend Brutus is to him, and tells Brutus that he is just like Caesar, a normal human being. He explains how Caesar is not a god or immortal in many ways with his stories.

Answer: Ligarius

Ligarius tells this to Brutus, after Lucius leads Ligarius to him.

Answer: sirrah

The obvious answer here is sirrah. It is repeated a few times in the play, once by Publius, once by Cassius, and a few times by Brutus. Servus is the Latin term for slave, but Latin is only used once in the entire play (Et tu brute). A drachma is a type of coin, and finally an ensign is a flag bearer.

Answer: Then fall, Caesar!

Caesar doesn't ever say "oh betrayal" in the play. He does say "doth not Brutus bootless kneel", but it isn't the last thing he says. This is the tricky part. Those of you who know of the play or have read it before would probably right away guess "Et tu brute", but sure enough he is able to mutter three more words after that (Then fall, Caesar!).

Answer: Caesar

Well, this is very easy, considering Caesar died in Act Three.

Answer: Situational irony

If you've ever read or have seen the play, you know that paradox is obviously a wrong answer. So it's down to the three ironies. Dramatic irony, where the reader or viewer knows more than the characters of the story, is definitely not it. So now it's either verbal or situational. Well, nothing much is said that is ironic, so it has to be situational.

Answer: Metaphor

It is a metaphor, because it can't be allusion (a reference to another piece of literature, etc.), irony (nothing said was ironic whatsoever), or foreshadowing (it's not foreshadowing an upcoming event). It compares the sun of Rome to Cassius.

Answer: Strato

Brutus told Clitus, Dardanius, and Volumnius to leave and that he would follow. Then he ordered Starto to hold the sword of his death. Strato said, "Give me your hand first. Fare you well, my lord."

Answer: Octavius

Firstly, there were no ghosts of either Cassius or Brutus. Antony had the second to last of the lines. Octavius was the last to speak and said this, "According to his virtue, let us treat him, with all respect and rites of burial. Within my tent his (Brutus') bones tonight shall lie, most like a soldier, ordered honorably, so call the field to rest, and let's away, to part (divide up) the glories of this happy day."
