Explain the disagreement that brutus and Cassius have about the battle strategy?
Cassius plans to stay and wait with his army so that when Antony and Octavius get towards them they will be tired and use their resources; however Brutus over rules his plan with his own. He wanted their military to go towards them, because there was a city between the their army and Antony's, and if they didn't get their first Antony could persuade them to join forces with them, making them more powerful then his own army.
Why is Antony so merciful to Lucilius?
because he is potentially valuable as an ally
Why did Antony go to war with Cassius?
Marcus Antony wanted revenge against Marcus Brutus and Cassius for killing Julius Caesar, so he, Octavius Caesar, and Lepidus decide to send their armies to attack the armies of Brutus and Cassius in the second half of the play.
What does Cassius mean when he says Brutus can thank himself for the offending tongue?
The line is "Flatterers! Now, Brutus, thank yourself: This tongue had not offended so to-day, If Cassius might have ruled." in Act V Scene 1. Antony, Octavian, Brutus and Cassius are engaged in the traditional pre-battle shouting match. Antony has just let go with an attack on Brutus and Cassius, calling them flatterers because they sucked up to Caesar while Casca snuck up on him from behind. This is why Cassius says "Flatterers!" Then he turns to speak to Brutus, and says, "This tongue had not offended so today if Cassius might have ruled." "This tongue" is Cassius's tongue and it has, he thinks, offended Antony, so what he is saying is that his tongue would not have offended Antony so much if Cassius had his way. Or possibly it might mean Antony's tongue which has offended Cassius. Either way, what he is talking about is that conversation way back in Act 2 Scene 1 (remember?) where Cassius said "I think it is not meet Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar, should outlive Caesar." He means that if Brutus had agreed with Cassius at that point Antony would be dead and would not be around to take or give offence (or, more importantly, to lead an army against them three acts later). Thanks a heap, Brutus. Or in other words, "Now Brutus, thank yourself."
What effect does Antony reading Caesars will to the people have?
to show citizens how generous caesar was and how much he loved all of them .moreover he wanted to make citizens angry so that they can go against brutus and other conspirators

Why does Marc Antony go to war against Brutus and Cassius if Brutus has told Antony not to tell the Roman plebeians not to blame the conspirators?
Because Antony had no intention of allowing Brutus and Cassius to get away with murdering Antony's friend Caesar, or with impeding Antony's desire to become as powerful a ruler as Caesar was. He didn't give a hoot what Cassius and Brutus told him to do; he agreed with them temporarily because they were a dozen dangerous men holding bloody knives, but had every intention of breaking his word the moment he could.

In 'Julius Caesar' who does Lucilius pretend to be?
He pretends to be Brutus because Antony and Octavius told their soldiers to go look for them.
Why does Caius Cassius indirectly kill himself in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?
At the final battle- as the forces of Brutus and Cassius go against the triumvirate of Octavius, Antony and Lepidus- Brutus sees and opening in the flank of Octavius' army and attacks. Though Brutus strikes a great blow against their opposition, the attack was so early and leaves Cassius' forces enclosed by Antony's army. As his camp is set ablaze in the distance, and army approaches. Cassius sends Titinius to check to see if the army is Brutus' or not. Messala watches as Titinius rides off on the distance, and reports to Brutus what appears to be Titinius being ran down on horseback. A cheer is heard in the distance, which is taken by Cassius as a celebratory sound from Antony's army that they have killed Titinius. Out of grief of sending one of his closest friends to his death, and by the apparent doom of the situation, Cassius has Messala run him through with the same blade he used to kill Caesar, setting his bondman free with his death. *** p.s. It turns out Titinius didn't die, and that he was greeted with cheers by Brutus' army, but good ole' hasty Cassius had to go and kill himself honorably before he was captured... fool :) *** titinius did die, he killed himself because he saw the dead body of Cassius
