Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 5, of the tragedy of julius caesar. [brutus.] night hangs upon mine eyes; my bones would rest, that have but laboured to attain this hour. . i prithee, strato, stay thou by thy lord. thou art a fellow of a good respect. thy life hath had some smatch of honour in it. hold then my sword, and turn away thy face while i do run upon it. wilt thou, strato? strato. give me your hand first. fare you well, my lord. brutus. farewell, good strato. . caesar, now be still: i killed not thee with half so good a will. which piece of evidence best supports the theme that dignity has a high cost? "night hangs upon mine eyes." "i prithee, strato, stay thou by thy lord." "thy life hath had some smatch of honour in it." "i killed not thee with half so good a will."

I believe that it is “I killed not thee with half so good a will,” which shows Brutus’s desperate desire to die. The second piece of evidence (“I prithee, Strato, stay thou by thy lord”) doesn’t show the negative influence that dignity can have on oneself; “thy life hath had some smatch of honor in it” does not show the true extent of dignity’s influence; and “night hangs upon mine eyes” is NOT a piece of evidence- it is merely a poetic phrase that Brutus uses to describe his current state.

i would like to compare these two interpretations of the crucible : 1) eric christ's interretation and wade bradford's interpretation. the main differences between there interretaions is that in the first one you can notice direct link to joseph mccarthy whereas the second one represents how the town is filled with hysteria.the second interpretation shows that author believes that the story   about puritan town in salem is based on actual events while the first example shows the sencible reference to sort of bias.
