Question

Knowing that Brutus does see Caesar’s ghost again at Phillippi as suggested in the passage, what central idea does this passage develop?

the impact of fate
the significance of letters
the ruthlessness of power
the importance of friendship

Answer 1

The impact of fate.

Caesar’s ghost reappearing at Philippi emphasizes an unavoidable destiny and the consequences of past actions—Brutus’s guilt and the sense that events are preordained—rather than focusing on letters, power, or friendship.
