Aquinas was greatly influenced by the work of Aristotle. Aquinas himself recognized this, and even referred to Aristotle as "The Philosopher." Aquinas adopted Aristotelian views in his analysis of physical objects, the idea of time and place and in his cosmology. His moral philosophy is carefully crafted around Aristotelian ideas, and he provided the first analysis of many areas of Aristotelian philosophy that otherwise would have remained obscure. However, this does not mean that Aristotle was his only influence. More importantly, it does not mean that his ideas are simply a reinterpretation of Aristotelian ones. Aquinas created a new way of looking at life and the world, which was markedly different from any author before or after him.

Which statement best explains why Shakespeare has Cassius use the word fawn rather than a synonym such as flatter to describe hi

GaryK [48]

The statement that best explains why Shakespeare has Cassius use the word fawn rather than a synonym such as flatter to describe his actions is the A: Fawn is more negative, suggesting manipulation of another for personal gain. In the excerpt that this question is referring to, the shrewd Cassius is going to reveal some aspects of Brutus's personality, or of his behavior, that he cannot see, and he asks him to trust in him, unless he saw him flattering somebody and then slandering him on their back; in that case, Cassius concludes, Brutus could be suspicious of him. Shakespeare is using the word fawn in Cassius's speech in order to emphasize his manipulative and devious traits. The word does have a negative connotation, and it often implies disapproval of that person's actions.
