Why Antony in Julius Caesar is the most dangerous person provide evidence also?
Antony is the most dangerous person in the Tragedy of Julius Caesar, because he is the most manipulative. During the funeral speeches, Antony manages to rally up the people to his cause when he uses manipulative techniques. You can see that in these lines: Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest-- For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men-- Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me. It's interesting that he starts the speech with, " Friends, Romans, countrymen". He's saying that the people are his personal friends first, citizens second, and Italian's third. Brutus says, "Romans, countrymen, and lovers." Antony pretty much just flips around what Brutus says. Antony is constantly repeating the phrase that the conspirators were "honorable men". He's doing this because he's trying to be sarcastic. Brutus makes the argument that he killed Caesar because he was ambition, and Antony responds with this: He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? He's asking the people to look at the situation and ask themselves "Does it seem like Caesar was ambitious?" Antony ends with this statement, after he has made the crowd angry: Now let it work.-Mischief, thou art afoot, Take thou what course thou wilt! Clearly, Antony was fully aware of what he had done. Antony also mentions this: You all did love him once,-not without cause: What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him?- O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason!-Bear with me; He's asking the people why they do not mourn for Caesar now, when they loved him so much. He's trying to build up the tension and anger that the people have. Antony also mentions: Moreover, he hath left you all his walks, His private arbors, and new-planted orchards, On this side Tiber: he hath left them you, And to your heirs forever; common pleasures, To walk abroad, and recreate yourselves. Here was a Caesar! when comes such another? Caesar left everything he owned to the people, and Antony is trying to show the people that Caesar really wasn't an evil man. Overall, Antony plays a very innocent role and manipulates the people without directly breaking the parameters that the conspirators set forth.

Did Brutus love Caesar?
No, he was not. Nor was he acting for the Republic. If a man truly believes that he must kill for an ideal, than he does so. On the other hand, if he is cowardly and simply wishing to follow the crowd, then one might see him wait till others have done the killing, then step in at the end so as to not be left out. History has recorded that Brutus only stabbed when the deed was already done, and Caesar lay bleeding and helpless. This is why his name - like the name of Judas - is known, but not used.

What are the Character sketches of brutus in Julius Caesar drama?
Brutus was first and foremost an honorable man, putting the safety of Rome above everything else. His three most noticeable characteristics were his honor, his naivete, and his stoicism. However, his honor honesty, and trustfulness eventually became the things that killed him.First of all, Brutus is a stoic. He and his wife Portia are both very stoic, and they don't show emotions towards things. The most striking instance of Brutus' stoicism is when Portia commits suicide. Cassius is having a hard time accepting Portia's death, but Brutus just shrugs it off. He immediately says to Cassius "Speak no more of her. Give me a bowl of wine" (V. iii. 157-158). Another example is when Portia stabs herself in the thigh. Even after this Brutus does not tell her what his plan is and instead immediately sends her off. Finally, when facing the possibility of taking his own life, he shows little emotion and instead still thinks out everything extremely carefully.Brutus' sense of honor and his love for Rome was his most striking quality. With those qualities also comes a sense of honesty. The best example of Brutus' honor was his decision to join the conspirators. Although he was a good friend to Caesar and Caesar had not done anything bad yet, the very threat of Caesar becoming a tyrant led Brutus to joining the conspirators. Cassius said Brutus could be swayed with his honor, meaning Brutus values his honor so much that he places it above all else (I. ii. 304-308). Besides from joining the conspiracy, Brutus also himself said he would look at all public matters equally and that "I (Brutus) love the name of honor more than I fear death" (I. ii. 85-89).
