Who says, 'Look: I draw my sword against conspirators. When do you think I'll put it away? Never, until Caesar's thirty-three wounds are well avenged'?

• A. Brutus
• B. Cassius
• C. Antony
• D. Octavius

Answer: (D)

This line is spoken by Octavius. It shows his unwavering commitment to avenge Caesar and his readiness to keep fighting until the conspirators are punished. As Caesar’s heir and ally to Antony, Octavius frames vengeance as a mission tied to Caesar’s legacy, not just personal anger. The insistence on never putting away the sword highlights his determination to use force to establish his and Caesar’s influence, foreshadowing the alliance with Antony and their joint pursuit of Brutus and Cassius. The other characters approach the situation from different angles—Brutus with his caution about tyranny, Cassius with political plotting, and Antony with rhetoric—making Octavius’s vow to continue the fight the defining stance of his role.
