Brutus' speech aims to persuade the Roman public that the assassination of Julius Caesar was necessary to prevent tyranny and preserve the Republic. He seeks to justify the act as a defense of freedom and democracy, emphasizing that Caesar's ambition posed a threat to their liberties. Additionally, Brutus aims to appeal to the crowd's sense of rationality and civic duty, encouraging them to see the assassination as a noble sacrifice rather than an act of treachery.
Brutus must read it first.
There are two main ironies in the crowd's reaction to Brutus's speech. First, Brutus explains to the crowd that the only reason he killed Caesar was that Caesar was too ambitious. Brutus says he participated in murdering Caesar in order to keep from getting too much power.
"As he was valiant I honour him but as he was ambitious I slew him."
He uses parallel structure because the same structurehappensin his own life. (E.g.) When Julius Caesar dies, so does Brutus.
Marc Antony begins his indictment of Julius Caesar assassins during the middle of the speech after praising Brutus the conspirator as an "honorable" and "noble man." He cites how Caesar "loved" the people, and Brutus particularly, who among the conspirators he then called "traitors." He closes indirectly asking "Rome," to "rise and mutiny," against the conspirators.
Brutus's purpose was to control the crowd as was Anthony's. Brutus began his speech with a hostile crowd against him as a murderer of the popular Julius Caesar.
Anthony tricks Brutus into letting him give a soliloquy at Caesar's funeral. He uses the opportunity to sarcastically implicate Brutus and Cassius in Caesar's murder. He says that Brutus considered Caesar "ambitious" using his speech to use Brutus' own words against him.

Brutus is the one that is more democratic. After Caesar gets killed, when Brutus and Antony give the speech to the plebians or villagers, Antony want to make sure Brutus and Cassius get what they deserved for what they did. For Brutus, he wants the govt. to change, and to change Rome into a republic.
Although both Brutus and Antony offered eulogies, Antony offered one tempered with sarcasm and disrepute, while Brutus's was sincere with praise and good will.
