Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 1, scene 2. CASSIUS. 'Tis just; And it is very much lamented, Brutus,60 That you have no such mirrors as will turn Your hidden worthiness into your eye, That you might see your shadow. I have heard Where many of the best respect in Rome— Except immortal Caesar—speaking of Brutus,65 And groaning underneath this age’s yoke, Have wished that noble Brutus had his eyes. What does the image of "And groaning underneath this age’s yoke” suggest about the meaning of the passage? (A yoke is a wooden harness, or collar, put around the neck of a horse or oxen that is pulling a plough.) Brutus has been unnecessarily choking himself. It is cruel to restrain people as if they were animals. Brutus has been praising the people of Rome. People are suffering under the current leadership.
