Question

What is the most likely reason Shakespeare chose the word hurl rather than throw?

Hurl foreshadows a gathering windstorm during the battle.
Hurl suggests a more violent and powerful motion or action.
Hurl describes how the conspirators blank Caesar.

Answer 1

Hurl suggests a more violent and powerful motion or action.

"Hurl" is stronger and more forceful than "throw," so Shakespeare likely chose it to intensify the violent, energetic image in the scene.
