When Caesar returned with triumph to Rome, Flavius answered with rage, beginning to persuade commoners and officials to halt Caesar before he grows in power and prestige. Flavius utilizes a metaphor, comparing his plan of demolishing Caesar’s growth and recognition to plucking feathers of a bird. “These growing feathers pluck’d from Caesar’s wing will make him fly an ordinary pitch” (I.i.73-74). Flavius vigorously declared his war against Caesar, in which he will not allow Caesar to grow in recognition. The author portrays the theme of jealousness and anger. By stating this quote, Flavius enhances the storyline by inserting imagery into the text. The audience is able to fully understand Flavius’ rage towards Caesar's accomplishments.
