How does Shakespeare's use of triumph instead of victory affect the meaning of the passage?
Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of Julius Caesar.
CASSIUS. Then if we lose this battle,
You are contented to be led in triumph
Through the streets of Rome?
BRUTUS. No, Cassius, no
Think not, thou noble Roman,
That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome.
He bears too great a mind. But this same day
Must end that work the ides of March begun
And whether we shall meet again I know not.
O It shows that Cassius thinks that Brutus is always
too emotional and the first to accept defeat.
O It implies that Cassius expects that he and Brutus
will win in battle and walk once again through the
streets of Rome in honor.
O It reveals that Brutus and Cassius regret killing
Caesar, and they would like to make amends to the
people of Rome
It creates a greater sense of humiliation for Brutus
and their armies who would be led in shame by
Antony and Octavius.

Explanation:

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.
