A flatterer’s would not, though they do appear As huge as high Olympus. How does the allusion in this passage connect to the central idea of the passage? The allusion emphasizes the need for compromise between human beings, just as the gods are forgiving of human faults. The allusion introduces the idea that, although the two men are very powerful and command armies, they are not gods but human beings. The allusion emphasizes the size of the faults that Brutus sees in Cassius, which will lead to an honest discussion of the roots of the friends’ conflict. The allusion to the gods introduces the notion of fate, suggesting that the relationship between Cassius and Brutus can be repaired only if it is fated to be.

The passage alludes to the inability of humans to judge others well or bad completely and with accuracy.

Explanation:

This passage from The Tragedy of Julius Caesar alludes to its central theme and the tragedy of Brutus, the protagonist of the play.

It is about the blinding of the eyes of humans and not being able to see the virtues and the flaws in the people they are surrounded by.

Caesar trusted his mates who had murdered him.

Brutus had believed that killing his own friend whom he believed to be fallen would be good for the nation but the opposite happens.

He also believed that Cassius was good but now has taken to his flaws and regrets over Caesar who in his mind would now have been a great king.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
