Final answer:
In Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar', Decius assures the conspirators that he can convince Caesar to go to the Capitol by flattering him and reinterpreting Calpurnia's ominous dream positively, appealing to Caesar's ambition and vanity.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking how Decius plans to ensure that Caesar will go to the Capitol. This question refers to William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. In the play, Decius is one of the conspirators against Caesar. He persuades Caesar to come to the Senate on the Ides of March by first flattering him and then interpreting Calpurnia's dream in a positive manner, which ultimately convinces Caesar to disregard his own concerns about going to the Capitol on that day.
Decius claims that he can sway Caesar's opinion by appealing to his ego, assuring the other conspirators that Caesar will surely follow if he believes his presence at the Capitol is of great importance.
