If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.
This means fate doesn’t exist, it’s our minds which make it real. It is also trying to say that fate is with the traitors who plan the dis pair to Caesar.
My heart laments that virtue cannot live
This could mean my heart regrets what is going to happen to your life it is going to feel sorrow for you not to live.

Hello Romaine,
You have definitely earned the Select a Quotation badge, and you have shown that you can identify personification, but you have not earned the Discovery badge yet.
To secure the Discovery badge – try to develop a paragraph for each quotation – this means turning each of your answers above into around four sentences.

Consider: Why did the author try to create this image? What might the image mean to the reader/audience? What might the image remind you of? How does this change your understanding of the character or event?

You have achieved the Discovery badge.
In Order to achieve the Figure It Out badge, you should develop how figurative language is used to show a theme (perhaps fate) across the play.
