How is the argument between Brutus and Cassius different from the one between Octavius and Antony?

· Antony and Octavius are way more formal with each other. They end up questioning each other's friendships and trust. Though they say they are friends, there issues between them of mistrust and tension. They butt heads about who's going to be the ruler of their army. They then decide there can only be one ruler. Of course, they're going to argue on who's going to be better. They don't worry about winning the fight or the consequences of getting defeated as much as who's in charge. Teamwork doesn't seem to be an option with them.

· On the other hand, Brutus and Cassius are truly friends. They respect each other. They were able to work through their argument a lot better than Octavius and Antony. They don't worry about who's going to be the main ruler, but they worry about what will happen if they get defeated by Octavius and Antony. Teamwork between them seems prominent.

How does priestly create sympathy for Eva smith?

When Eva Smith is presented to the audience by the Inspector, she is

immediately shown to be the victim of the play. The Inspector

highlights and describes how each of the members of the Birling family including Gerlad Croft has used Eva Smith and bought not but pain and sadness. The Inspector shows that each character has victimized her and that each of them has a part to play and a partly responsible for her death. The Inspector soon shows us that he thinks she is a victim as he describes her as "A pretty, lively sort of girl, who never did anybody any harm." The used of the adjective ''pretty'' creates a really intense sympathy towards Eva Smith which could connote that she was a really welcoming innocent low class statues. The Inspector tries to make each family member, including Gerald Croft, guilty for how they have treated Eva Smith. This is because Eva Smith in this play was representing the lower class working people and shows clearly how much they had to go through because of the rich, in this case the Birlings and Crofts.
