Question

How does Shakespeare use figurative language to develop the character of Cassius?

Answer 1

I think Cassius uses figurative language, such as the simile that compares Caesar to Colossus, to illustrate the dangers of Caesar's rise to power. He uses the metaphor of a beast eating when he asks, “Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed / That he is grown so great?” (lines 158–159).
