[CASSIUS.] Coming from Sardis, on our former
What is the overall tone of this passage?
ensign
v
Two mighty eagles fell, and there they perched,
Which words help to establish the tone?
Gorging and feeding from our soldiers' hands;
v
Who to Philippi here consorted us.
How do the words create the tone?
This morning are they fled away and gone,
And in their steads do ravens, crows, and kites
Fly o'er our heads and downward look on us,
As we were sickly prey. Their shadows seem
canopy most fatal, under which
Our army lies ready to give up the ghost.
-The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,
William Shakespeare
