Read the passage from act 5, scene 3, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. CASSIUS. Come down; behold no more.
O coward that I am, to live so long,
To see my best friend ta’en before my face!

[PINDARUS descends]

Come hither, sirrah: in Parthia did I take thee prisoner,
And then I swore thee, saving of thy life,
That whatsoever I did bid thee do
Thou shouldst attempt it. Come now, keep thine oath.
Now be a freeman, and, with this good sword,
That ran through Caesar’s bowels, search this bosom.
Stand not to here, take thou the hilts,
And when my face is covered, as 'tis now,
Guide thou the sword.

Which quotation from the passage best supports the theme that feelings of guilt are difficult to escape?

"O coward that I am, to live so long, / To see my best friend ta’en before my face!"
"Whatsoever I did bid thee do / Thou shouldst attempt it."
"Come now, keep thine oath. / Now be a freeman."
"Stand not to here, take thou the hilts."
