The king of Brobdingnag voices Swift's criticism of contemporary professional men by saying that : " My little Friend Grildrig, I cannot but conclude the Bulk of your Natives, to be the most pernicious Race of little odious Vermin that Nature ever suffered to crawl upon the Surface of the Earth. This famous judgment by the king of Brobdingnag on the people of England, given in Part II, Chapter VI, after Gulliver (or “Grildrig”) has summarized the institutions of his native land, is a harsh denunciation of mankind in its current state, and it stokes the misanthropy that dominates Gulliver’s mind by the end of Gulliver’s Travels."

Answer: Symbol.
A writer uses an object as a symbol to represent another thing more abstract; it can be any image that stands for something else. It's an implied analogy, and one of the most basic of literary techniques. Also, sometimes even an action or word spoken by someone can have a symbolic value, for example a smile is a symbol of friendship.
There were several plays and religious works of literature during this period. Examples of this are Paradise Lost and Sodom by the Earl of Rochester. The Comedy A County Wife and Pilgrim’s Progress show the diversity of literature and art during this time.

Answer:
In both excerpts, Brutus is concealing a significant secret from a person he loves.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Ceasar" revolves around the murder of Julius Caesar. It also delves into the theme of honesty, loyalty and friendship infused with the want of power among the characters.
Both excerpts are from Act II scene i of the play where Cassius and Brutus had conspired to murder Caesar for the sake of the safety of Rome. The first excerpt is Brutus' dilemma in doubting Cassius while at the same time trying not to show it. The second excerpt is from his conversation with his wife Portia who is trying to help lighten his burden by asking if he has any worries. In both scenes, Brutus is reluctant to tell or confide in the other person about his internal feelings though he admits that both Cassius and his wife are the people he loves the most. He also did not try t inform Caesar f the murder conspiracy even though he loves him.
Brutus's moral dilemmas in Julius Caesar involve the conflict between personal loyalty to Caesar and civic duty to prevent autocracy, revealing deep-rooted Roman fears about the erosion of societal standards and autocratic rule.
The moral dilemmas faced by Brutus in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar revolve around his love and loyalty to Rome against his friendship and family ties. Brutus conceals a significant secret due to his internal conflict between his love for Caesar and his fear that Caesar's growing power will harm the Republic. He makes the anguishing decision to join the conspiracy to assassinate Caesar, believing it to be a preemptive action to preserve the values and stability of Rome—a classic example of the clash between personal loyalty and civic duty.
Brutus's deliberations are influenced by the moral fabric of Roman society; his resolution reflects the Roman fear of autocracy and the degradation of societal standards, as well as the notion propounded by other characters that his actions are for the greater good, despite the personal cost.
