Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of Julius Caesar. ANTONY. Villains, you did not so, when your vile daggers
chopped one another in the sides of Caesar:
You showed your teeth like apes, and fawned like hounds,
And bowed like bondmen, kissing Caesar’s feet,
Whilst darned Casca, like a cur, behind,
Struck Caesar on the neck. O you flatterers!

Shakespeare uses the word vile rather than sharp or juicy to describe the assassins’ daggers. This helps the audience understand

the importance of alliteration in the play.
the feelings of Antony about the men who killed Caesar.
the animal imagery that follows the description of the dagger.
the lethalness of the weapons used to game-end Caesar.
