Exam answer

(c) He persuades Pindarus to help him take his life..

Explanation

Cassius, believing his dearest friend taken because of his own orders, reminds Pindarus of the oath he swore when spared as a prisoner and makes him hold the sword — the same sword that stabbed Caesar — while he runs upon it. The bitter irony is that Pindarus was wrong: Titinius had been welcomed by friends, not captured. Cassius dies of a misreading, which is the tragedy of the final act.

In words
