which phrase in the passage includes a symbol?
\beast without a heart\
\caesar shall go forth\
\i the elder and more terrible\
nt?
entions symbolize?

Explanation:

To determine which phrase includes a symbol, we analyze each option: "beast without a heart" uses "beast" symbolically to represent a cowardly nature (but the phrase itself doesn't have a symbol in the form of a non - word symbol like a number or special character? Wait, no—wait, maybe misinterpretation. Wait, actually, "beast without a heart" is a metaphor (symbolic representation), but the other options: "Caesar shall go forth" is just a statement, "I the elder and more terrible" is a statement. Wait, no—wait, maybe the question is about a symbol as in a symbolic element (metaphor). Wait, "beast without a heart" uses "beast" to symbolize a person without courage or honor (a cowardly being), so it's a symbolic phrase. Wait, but let's re - check. The phrase "beast without a heart" uses "beast" as a symbol for a person lacking courage (since Caesar is being compared to a beast without a heart if he stays home out of fear). The other phrases don't have this symbolic element in the same way. So the phrase with a symbol (metaphorical symbol) is "beast without a heart".

Answer:

"beast without a heart"
