An example of ellipsis in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" occurs in Act 1, Scene 2, when Brutus says, “I do not like your Words. / But, for my part, I do not think they will.” The ellipsis is implied in the omission of "that they will succeed," allowing the audience to infer the missing context. This device emphasizes Brutus's skepticism without explicitly stating the entire thought.
