Read the excerpt below from act 3.1 of the tragedy of julius caesar and answer the question that follows. caesar: i could be well moved if i were as you. if i could pray to move, prayers would move me. but i am constant as the northern star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament . . so in the world: ‘tis furnished well with men, and men are flesh and blood, and apprehensive; yet in the number i do know but one that unassailable holds on his rank, unshaked of motion; and that i am he . . how does shakespeare’s use of the specific simile “i am constant as the northern star” support the statements he makes in the rest of his speech? caesar says that he’s constant like the northern star but that he can change his mind depending on what other men say or do. caesar says that he is never set like the northern star, but instead, he likes to change his mind and actions just like other men do. caesar says that he’s as constant as the northern star set in the sky, and he talks about the ways he differs from other men by being constant. caesar says that he’s not set like the northern star, and he talks about the ways he is like other men by being constant.

C

Explanation:

Caesar says that he’s as constant as the Northern Star set in the sky, and he talks about the ways he differs from other men by being constant.

The use of simile by Shakespeare supports the statements because

C. Caesar says that he’s as constant as the Northern Star set in the sky, and he talks about the ways he differs from other men by being constant.

Explanation:

In this excerpt of the tragedy "Julius Caesar" by Shakespeare, Caesar is comparing himself to the Northern Star by saying he is as constant as the star is. Because of its position in a direct line with the Earth's rotational axis, the Northern Star stands practically motionless in the sky, giving the impression that the other stars change position around it. Thus, as Caesar says, the star is fixed and constant.

Just like the star, Caesar considers himself a constant man. He does not give up under pressure or attempts of persuasion. Unlike other man, he is committed to the law and to values, not distancing himself from them whenever things change course. By comparing himself to the Northern Star, Caesar is taking some of the star's qualities for himself: constancy, reliability, permanency.
