Antony: o, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, that i am meek and gentle with these butchers! thou art the ruins of the noblest man that ever lived in the tide of times. woe to the hand that shed this costly blood! over thy wounds now do i which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby lips, to beg the voice and utterance of my tongue-- a curse shall light upon the limbs of men; domestic fury and fierce civil strife shall cumber all the parts of italy; blood and destruction shall be so in use and dreadful objects so familiar that mothers shall but smile when they behold their infants quarter'd with the hands of war; all pity choked with custom of fell deeds: and caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge, with ate by his side come hot from hell, shall in these confines with a monarch's voice cry 'havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war; that this foul deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men, groaning for burial. what theme does antony's soliloquy support? (a.)loyalty(b.)love(c.)war (d.)forgiveness

I wouldn't completely trust myself here, but I would choose answer C) War. And this is simply because of the language that's used, and the aggression in some of the words.

"...let slip the dogs of war;..." "..Blood and destruction shall be so in use.."

Things of that nature are pretty out there in his soliloquy, which makes me think he's in support of war. But I'm so unsure... I really do apologize :)

yes

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.
