When Julius Caesar was assassinated Mark Antony fled Rome because he was afraid that the conspirators would attack Caesar's supporters. As this did not happen he soon returned to Rome. Meanwhile, Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus (the leaders of the conspiracy) fled Rome because the Roman crowd was hostile to the conspirators. Caesar was very popular with the middle and lower classes.
Brutus fears antony
Brutus and Antony.
Because Antony promised he would not do the very thing he ended up doing, and Brutus trusted him. Unfortunately for Brutus he really was an "honourable man".
The reason Antony does this is to make the citizens/ the poor to go and against Cassius, Brutus, and the conspirators. :D
Mark Antony's. He says to Brutus, "Thus, Brutus, did my master bid me kneel; thus did Mark Antony bid me fall down."
this basically means that Brutus was the cause of Caesars death, thus Antony was referring to brutus in that statement
Antony would have his way with or without his approval because he is the head of the army.
he killed himself
Brutus believes that Antony is the same kind of person he is; a man who can be trusted to keep his word and act honourably. While Antony is suggesting that Brutus is dishonourable by calling him honourable, he himself is acting dishonourably by breaking the spirit of his promise to Brutus. Irony upon irony!
He made two decisions about Antony, he firstly decides not to kill him along with Caesar in fear of being seen as "butchers"; and after the assassination of Caesar, he decides to allow Antony to speak at caesars funeral. which in turn is brutus' ultimate downfall.
The crowd did react to Brutus and Anthony funeral speeches because they had much intellectual appeal.
Octavian and Antony were the two triumvirs who battled Brutus and Cassius in the final war against Caesar's killers.
