What does Cassius's description of Brutus as noble
rather than the synonym aristocratic tell us about his
feelings toward Brutus?
Using aristocratic would be a compliment while
noble has become a description that includes
sarcasm.
O Using noble shows how motivated both Brutus and
Cassius are by a love of peace.
O Using aristocratic would be insulting to Brutus while
noble suggests the positive qualities Cassius sees in
him such as dignity, generosity, and compassion.
O Using noble is a term of endearment and great
respect between longtime loyal friends where
aristocratic would be impersonal.
