Answer:

Loyalty to one's superior is more important than life.

Step-by-step explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the story of Julius Caesar's death and the eventual struggle for power among the surviving generals. The story deals with themes of loyalty, authority, betrayal, power, etc.

In the given excerpt from Act V scene iii, Titinius is seen mourning the death of Cassius. He laments how Cassius had wrongfully construed the events that happened once Titinius left him, presuming he had been killed. But Titinius had been welcomed by their allies. This speech shows how Titinius had exhibited unwavering loyalty to his master Cassius, even to the point of killing himself with Cassius's sword.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
