Want to know:
Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.BRUTUS. It must be by his death: and for my part / I know no personal cause to spurn at him / But for the general. He would be crowned: / How that might change his nature, there's the question./ It is the bright day that brings forth the adder, / And that craves wary walking. Crown him that, / And then I grant we put a sting in him / That at his will he may do danger with. / Th' abuse of greatness is when it disjoins / Remorse from power. And to speak truth of Caesar, / I have not known when his affections swayed / More than his reason. But 'tis a common proof / That lowliness is young ambition's ladder, / Whereto the climber-upward turns his face; / But when he once attains the upmost round, / He then unto the ladder turns his back, / Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees / By which he did ascend. So Caesar may. / Then lest he may, prevent. And since the quarrel / Will bear no colour for the thing he is, / Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented, / Would run to these and these extremities; / And therefore think him as a serpent's egg / Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous, / And kill him in the shell.What moral dilemma does this excerpt express?
