Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of julius caesar. 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. therefore our everlasting farewell take. forever and forever farewell, cassius. if we do meet again, why, we shall smile. if not, why then, this parting was well made. how does shakespeare’s use of the word everlasting most affect the meaning of this passage? it shifts the focus to the men’s long friendship. it creates a more positive outlook for the men. it suggests that they will not meet again. it emphasizes the value of saying goodbye

How does Shakespeare’s use of the word everlasting most affect the meaning of this passage?

It suggests that they will not meet again.

Hope this answers your question!

It suggests that they will not meet again. This is the correct version. "Everlasting" means never-ending. Therefore, Brutus has a hunch- the feeling that something bad will happen- : they will not meet again. Antony is a brave soldier and he is determined  to avenge his father, Julius Caesar.

These options are  not right:

-It shifts the focus to the men’s long friendship. The word refers to their farewell not to their friendship.

-It creates a more positive outlook for the men. On the contrary, they fear that something bad will happen.

-It emphasizes the value of saying goodbye. The expression is used metaphorically. They will say goodbye and this event will remain.
