Asked by Havon

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 1, scene 1.

FLAVIUS. It is no matter; let no images
Be hung with Caesar’s trophies. I’ll about,
And drive away the vulgar from the streets:
So do you too where you perceive them thick.70
These growing feathers plucked from Caesar’s wing
Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
Who else would soar above the view of men
And keep us all in servile fearfulness. [Exeunt]

What does the symbol of growing feathers represent in this excerpt?

joy
loyalty
arrogance
dedication

Arrogance.

Flavius compares Caesar’s rising honors and popularity to feathers on a wing; plucking them down will keep him from "soar[ing] above" others—i.e., curb his pride/ambition.
