In his funeral speech, Antony uses irony and juxtaposition to only say positive things about Brutus, but twists them around to show that Caesar was not ambitious. Antony implies that Caesar sympathized with the poor, ransomed off captives to bring money to Rome, and denied to be crowned king three times when it was offered to him.
What else can I help you with?
In Julius Caesar who doesnt want to kill Antony?
Brutus :) A quote to prove it is: Cassius: Let Antony and Caesar fall together Brutus: Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius ... (Then later in the same monologue) Brutus: And for Mark Antony, think not of him; For he can do no more than Caesar's arm When Caesar's head is off (Act 2, Scene 1, Lines 161-162 and 181-183) Enjoy!

What best explains the reasons Mark Antony offered the crown to Caesar three times?
It was a put up job to prove to the people that Caesar did not want to be a king. This meant that Caesar, as dictator-for-life, could have and exercise all the powers of a king, and the people of Rome (who had a history of anti-monarchism since the days of Tarquin) would not think of him as a king. As we see from later scenes with the Roman mob, they are indeed thick enough to fall for this kind of propaganda, and it is only a few (like Brutus and Cassius) who can see through it. Unfortunately, this kind of political machination is as effective now as it was then.
Which two men helped Julius Caesar gain power?
Julius Caesar did not need much help to gain power. He did this pretty much on his own when he marched on Rome with his army, starting a civil war and seizing power militarily. He had a battle veteran legion which became battle hardened during his Gallic War. Pompey, the general of the opponents of Caesar, fled to Greece to raise troops in the Roman provinces in the east. Caesar then seized Rome. The two most important supporters of Caesar were Marc Antony and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. Mark Antony served as a military commander during Caesar's Gallic War until 50 B.C. when he went to Rome to try to mediate the conflict between Caesar and Pompey, the leader of Caesar's opponents. He was elected plebeian tribune and summoned the senate to negotiate a compromise, which Pompey was willing to accept. However, this was by Lentulus and Cato who were two hardeners of the opponents of Caesar. They forcibly expelled Antony from the senate and he fled Rome and returned to Caesar's camp in northern Italy. The senate reconvened and order Caesar to relinquish his military command, disband his armies and return to Rome to face a trial. Caesar marched on Rome with one of his legions and started the civil war which put him in power. Antony did not always prove to be a good political asset for Caesar. During the civil war Antony was appointed governor of Italy while Caesar pursued Pompey in Greece. However, Antony mishandled a political issue and dealt with it with military force. Caesar had to return to Italy to resolve the situation and removed Antony from political office and took him with him in his civil war campaigns. Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was a more shrewd politician. Lepidus took charge of Rome while Caesar was fighting his enemy Pompey in Greece. He secured Caesar's appointment as dictator, which he used to preside over his own election as consul. He then became the governor of "Nearer Spain." He suppressed a rebellion there though a mixture of diplomacy and military action. Caesar made him master of the horse when he was appointed dictator the second and third time. This was the second highest position in Rome when a dictator was in charge.
Did Julius Caesar accept the crown?
Certainly not! The whole point of the exercise was to prove to the Roman people that he would not under any circumstances accept the position of king. In the minds of the Romans, the title of king was tarnished by the memory of the tyrant Tarquin Superbus who was overthrown when the Republic was first set up. Caesar was in fact the dictator of the state and held powers just as broad as those of a king, but the people would not mind, as long as he did not call himself a king. Antony later plays on this event: "You all did see upon the Lupercal, I thrice presented him a kingly crown which he did thrice refuse. Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?"

Was Mark Antony manipulative in Julius Caesar?
yea he was VERY manipulative - manipulated Brutus' thoughts at first by showing his love to Caesar and to made Brutus felt that he was a noble man and should be allowed to speak in the public to praise Caesar. "If I myself, there is no hour fit as Caesar's death hour" - did not give a chance for Cassius to oppose the idea of allowing him to speak at the funeral as he put words into his mouth. "The enemies of Caesar shall say this; Then, in a friend, it is cold modesty. - he manipulated the crowd through his speech. he changed the crowd from the conspirators' supporters into Caesar's supporters, and successfully used the plebeians as his tools to kill the conspirators. In the speech he started off by "Friends, Roman, Countrymen" which was personal and inclusive as it caught the crowd's attention. His whole speech was in verse to lift the crowd to his level which shows that he respects them. He added some phrases to emphasize that he did not want to oppose the commoners, for example "noble Brutus" and "for Brutus' sake" which made the commoners felt like he was allying with them thus listened to his speech instead of "throwing him off stage". He also used a repetition of the words "Caesar" to put the main theme into the plebeians' heads. He also showed respect to the plebeians as he let them to decide whether they wanted him to descend or to read the will which set the scene. He confused the commoners' thoughts towards Caesar as he brought out many evidences to prove that Caesar was not ambitious. He used phrases like "If it were so" to show that he as well doubted what Brutus said in his speech. He used many rhetorical flourish and persuasive skills to manipulate their thoughts, for example by saying "Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept." However he counters all the evidence by saying "And Brutus is an honourable man". He also manipulated their thought by playing on their guilt. He said "You all did love him once, not without cause; What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?" "If you have tears, shed them now"- builds tension He successfully stirred up the crowd, built up their rage and highlighted that in order to take revenge for Caesar, the conspirators must be killed. (also made good use of sibilant and alliteration. He also emphasized that Caesar was not defeated but gave in when he saw his friend was one of them who planned to kill him, which immediately made the crowd think that Brutus is not noble but is a traitor as Antony referred to the act as treason. ....blah blah blah........ - he realised that he cannot receive as much power as what Caesar had so he decided to manipulated Octavius (who was the great nephew of Caesar) and Lepidus ...
