Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.BRUTUS. Let 'em enter.[Exit LUCIUS]They are the faction. O conspiracy, / Shamest thou to show thy dangerous brow by night, / When evils are most free? O then by day / Where wilt thou find a cavern dark enough / To mask thy monstrous visage? Seek none, conspiracy. / Hide it in smiles and affability; / For if thou path, thy native semblance on, / Not Erebus itself were dim enough / To hide thee from prevention.[Enter the conspirators: CASSIUS, CASCA, DECIUS BRUTUS, CINNA, METELLUS CIMBER, and TREBONIUS]CASSIUS. I think we are too bold upon your rest. / Good morrow, Brutus. Do we trouble you?BRUTUS. I have been up this hour, awake all night. / Know I these men that come along with you?CASSIUS. Yes, every man of them; and no man here / But honours you; and every one doth wish / You had but that opinion of yourself / Which every noble Roman bears of you.Which statement best explains how Brutus's tragic flaw reveals the theme that citizens are persuaded by charismatic leaders?
