Question

CASSIUS: Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world Like a Colossus, and we petty men Walk under his huge legs, and peep about To find ourselves dishonorable graves. Men at sometime were masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.

Identify the type of imagery used and explain its meaning.

Answer 1

The type of imagery used in this excerpt is sight imagery.
Its meaning is that it is referring to Caesar as a Colossus, a giant man who is controlling other people's fates and lives. Cassius is saying how people used to be free before Caesar, but now they have given him too much power and he has control over everyone, practically as his own personal slaves.
