Answer:
Problem 18: In the first metaphor, who is compared to what?
b - Caesar is compared to a wolf and the Romans to sheep.
Problem 19: In the second metaphor, who is compared to what?
c - Caesar is compared to a lion and the Romans to a female deer.
Problem 20: Using the lines from the previous two questions, how do Cassius' metaphors slur Caesar?
c - Cassius is saying Caesar's power comes from the weaknesses of the people he rules. In the first metaphor, Caesar is depicted as the predator, preying on the weak, defenseless sheep, which represents the Roman people. In the second metaphor, Caesar is compared to a powerful lion who preys on the female deer, which symbolize the Roman people who are easily manipulated and controlled by Caesar. Cassius is using these metaphors to suggest that Caesar is a tyrant who gains his power by exploiting the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the people he rules over.
