Question
read the excerpt from act 3, scene 1, of julius caesar. antony. o mighty caesar! dost thou lie so low? are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, shrunk to this little measure? fare thee well. - i know not, gentlemen, what you intend - who else must be let blood, who else is rank. if i myself, there is no hour so fit as caesars death hour, nor no instrument of half that worth as those your swords, made rich with the most noble blood of all this world. i do beseech ye, if you bear me hard, now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke, fulfill your pleasure. live a thousand years, i shall not find myself so apt to die. no place will please me so, no mean of death, as here by caesar, and by you cut off. the choice and master spirits of this age. which quotations support the central idea that if antony were to be killed, he would be honored to die now, after caesar? select three options. \o mighty caesar! dost thou lie so low? / are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, / shrunk to this little measure?\ \i know not, gentlemen, what you intend - / who else must be let blood, who else is rank.\ \if i myself, there is no hour so fit / as caesars death hour, nor no instrument / of half that worth as those your swords\ \live a thousand years, / i shall not find myself so apt to die.\
o place will please me so, no mean of death, / as here by caesar, and by you cut off\
The key idea is Antony's willingness to die honorably after Caesar. "If I myself, there is no hour so fit / As Caesar's death - hour" shows he deems Caesar's death time as the most fitting for his own death. "Live a thousand years, / I shall not find myself so apt to die" emphasizes his current readiness to die. "No place will please me so, no mean of death, / As here by Caesar, and by you cut off" indicates his preference for dying near Caesar and at the hands of the conspirators.
