Be hung with Caesar’s trophies. I’ll about
And drive away the vulgar from the streets.

These growing feathers plucked from Caesar’s wing
Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
Who else would soar above the view of men
And keep us all in servile fearfulness.”

Answer:
sorry i donot know the answer
This extract is of Julius Caesar written by William Shakespeare. The following are the answers to the questions given:
1. Flavus urge the countrymen to make up for their wrongdoings. He asks them to lead their fellow countrymen to river Tiber and weep into the river until it overflows its banks.
2. Marullus asks the people to return to their homes, fall on their knees, and pray to the gods to spare them the pain that they deserve for such ingratitude.
3. The river Tiber shook as the shout of the people echoed when they spotted Pompey's chariot in the streets of Rome.
4. Flavius says to Marullus to make sure that none of the statues are decorated in tribute to Caesar, to take away Caesar's support by thinning the crowd.
5. The last four lines are about how Flavius wants to take away Caesar’s support so that he has to come back down to earth; otherwise, he’ll fly too high and keep the rest of them in a state of fear and obedience.
