1) A) Pun: “play on words.” Based on multiple meanings of a single word or on words that sound alike (homophones) but mean different things.
B) Cobbler: “A trade, sir, that I hope I may use with a safe conscience, which indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles” (1.1.12-15).
Cobbler uses this pun to address that he is a mender of worn soles. This literally means that he repairs the soles of shoes, but it can mean he mends souls. He can repair shoes but cannot repair the broken souls of people’s lives. He is a simple man and lives a simple life.

O you hard hearts, you cruèl men of Rome! Knew you not Pompey?" (1.1.39-42).
Marullus is using figurative language to describe how unwise the people are. He describes them as blocks and stones, which is basically describing them as brain-less. His main focus is criticizing Romans for celebrating Caesar and not moaning for Pompey. He wants them to recognize that Caesar is doing wrong and will cause disaster in the kingdom. However, the people are too oblivious and still cry for Caesar when they should want something more desirable and better for their lives.
6) A) Simile: “a figure of speech that make an explicit comparison between two unlike things, using words such as like, as, than, or resembles.”
B) Cassius: Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus, and we petty men walk under his huge legs and peep about to find ourselves dishonorable graves” …show more content…
Flavius is implying that “birds of prey”(Caesar) fly high and other birds (the people) are at a constant risk. Plucking Caesar 's wing would cause him to not be able to fly so high and, thus, keep everyone submissive. He is also foreshadowing Caesar’s death as the people will pluck his wing and cause him death.
10) A) Situational Irony: “takes place when there is a discrepancy between what is expected to happen, or what would be appropriate to happen, and what really does happen.”
B) Brutus: “Till then, my noble friend, chew upon this: Brutus had rather be a villager than to repute himself a son of Rome under these hard conditions as this time is like to lay upon us” (1.2.180-184).
Brutus’ quote is a strong example of irony, as he is speaking of how outraged he is with Caesar. It is extremely evident that Brutus is going to make the decision to assassinate Caesar for the benefit of all of Rome. Many times, we see him reflecting on the need to do something drastic in order to protect Rome. He feels obligated to protect his
