Which statement best explains how the catharsis Brutus experiences supports the theme that there can be honor in defeat? Realizing that he has been defeated, Brutus reflects upon his deeds and believes that he will be glorified in death. The defeat comes as a shock to Brutus, and he fears what will happen to him if Antony captures him alive and imprisons him in Rome. Because Brutus is easily manipulated and persuaded by others, he follows the advice of Volumnius and Strato and decides to take his own life instead of losing the battle. Brutus blames Octavius and Mark Antony for the violent battle that will result in the deaths of many Roman citizens, and he cannot bear to watch.
