In Act III of "Julius Caesar," Antony undermines Brutus's credibility by repeatedly referring to him as an "honorable man" while juxtaposing this praise with examples of Caesar's generosity and the injustices of his murder. He uses rhetorical questions to provoke doubt about Brutus's motives, suggesting that if Brutus truly loved Caesar, he would not have betrayed him. Antony also reveals Caesar's will, which bequeaths money and public parks to the citizens, further casting doubt on Brutus's claim that Caesar was ambitious. This masterful rhetoric sways the crowd and incites them against Brutus and the conspirators.
