Caesar.“Brutus was not an honorable man/he said./zHe was a traitor(叛徒).And he murderedsomeone in cold blood.The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when otheroptions were available to him.He made a bad decision,they saidat least as it was presented byShakespeareto take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar.And though one of the executivesacknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind,Caesar was nevertheless hissuperior.Z/You have to understand/the executives said,z/our policy is to obey the chain ofcommand.”During the last few years,business executives and book

amasterful leader.And at the workshop on Caesar,Mr.Adelmans had little good to say aboutBrutus,saying“the noblest Roman of them all couldnt make his mind up about things.Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to berelated.Caesars pride,which led to his murder,and Brutuss mistakes in leading the traitors afterthe murder;they said,raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business:when and how doyou resist the boss?73.According to Paragraph 1,what did all the executives think of Brutus?A.Cruel.B.Superior.C.Honorable.D.Rude.74.According
