Question

7. Decisive, brutal, and in control with a touch of merciful humanity. That is how Caesar is described after his

encounter with the pirates. How does this event with the pirates elevate Caesar's social standing (his next step
on the ladder)? 13:06

Answer 1

Answer:it gave him arrogance and cockiness. Or More confidence in his abilities.

Explanation:the pirates could have easily killed him. They were “savages” in his eyes and the eyes of the world, but they didn’t kill him because of his status. They kidnapped him and although they could have hurt him and treating him badly, they chose to “be humanly merciful” to him because of who he was.
