Read the poem. Answer the question that follows.
In shadows cast by flickering candlelight,
A tale unfolds of trust's unyielding plight
Betrayal's venom seeps into the core,
As daggers strike from behind, heart's sore.
Like Caesar, once hailed with laurel wreath,
Unaware of treachery, his fatal sheath,
The sting of betrayal, an echoing crack,
A bo evered, never to turn back.
What effect does the allusion to Julius Caesar have on the poem?
OIt gives historical context about ancient Rome.
Olt heightens the sense of deception and backstabbing.
OIt adds an element of hope amidst tragedy.
OIt invokes a feeling of power and authority.
