"When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff"
What is the meaning of the word sterner in this of Antony's speech in Julius Caesar?

Angrier
Easier
Gloomier
Sturdier <<<< is my current answer

Answer 1

You should be right.

This passage seems to contrast strength and weakness, with Caesar crying when the poor have cried. In this case, ambition should be made of sturdier stuff.

If this isn't the right answer, then I would be very surprised!

Answer 2

This verse appears to contrast power and frailty, as Caesar weeps as the impoverished weep. Ambition should be made of more durable materials in this situation. So, option (D): "Sturdier" is the correct answer.

What does it mean that aspiration should be built of sterner stuff?

Ambition should be tougher than that: Brutus, on the other hand, claims to be ambitious, and he is an honorable man.

The point here is to demonstrate that Caesar was not ambitious and that if he had been, he would have been more committed to it, i.e., ambition should be built of tougher stuff.

Therefore, "showing determination and confidence," sterner means sturdier in this context.
