Read the excerpt below from act 1.3 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and answer the question that follows.



CASCA:
I have seen tempests when the scolding winds
Have rived the knotty oaks . . .
But never till tonight, never till now,
Did I go through a tempest dropping fire.
Either there is a civil strife in heaven,
Or else the world, too saucy with the gods,
Incenses them to send destruction.
