PLEASE HELP ME Which statement best explains why Shakespeare has
Cassius use the word fawn rather than a synonym such
as flatter to describe his actions?
O Fawn is more negative, suggesting manipulation of
another for personal gain.
Fawn is a comparison to a deer and therefore creates
a weak image.
O Flatter is the more negative word, and Cassius
wishes to be kind in his description.
O Flatter is used throughout the play as a compliment,
and Cassius would not brag about his own abilities.
