Question

How did the expression 'stab in the back' come about?

विकल्प

• Due to Casca stabbing the unsuspecting Caesar in the neck from behind, which is a cowardly act

• Due to Brutus pleading for Metellus Cimber's brother

• Because all the conspirators stabbed Caesar together

• By Casca being stabbed in the neck by the other conspirators

Answer 1

Due to Casca stabbing the unsuspecting Caesar in the neck from behind, which is a cowardly act.

Explanation:

Casca attacks Caesar from behind while Caesar is surrounded by the conspirators. This makes the assassination appear treacherous and cowardly. The expression is therefore associated with betrayal by someone trusted.
