shakespeare used an ancient biography, by the greek writer plutarch, as a source for the play julius caesar.

excerpt from julius caesar by william shakespeare

caesar:
antonius!

antony:
caesar? .

caesar:
let me have men about me who are fat;
sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights:
yond cassius has a lean and hungry look;

he thinks too much: such men are dangerous.

excerpt from lives by plutarch

now caesar, on the other side, did not trust him overmuch, nor was without tales brought unto him against him, howbeit he feared his great mind, authority, and friends. yet, on the other side also, he trusted his good nature and fair conditions. for intelligence being brought him one day that antonius and dolabella did conspire against him, he answered "that these fat long-haired men made him not afraid, but the lean and whitely-faced fellows," meaning by that brutus and cassius.

how did shakespeare draw from his source to create the play?

a. he included only the idea that caesar did not trust cassius.

b. he repeated the exact words of plutarch's biography.

c. he kept the basic meaning of caesar's comment.
