Why do you think Antony believes Cassius isn't dangerous?

Antony likely believes Cassius isn't dangerous because he perceives him as overly cautious and lacking the charisma and influence of more formidable leaders like Caesar. Antony may also view Cassius's motivations as self-serving rather than driven by a genuine desire for power, underestimating his capability to incite rebellion. Additionally, Antony's own confidence in his position and the loyalty of the people may lead him to dismiss Cassius as a significant threat.


What does Brutus think about Cassius wanting mark Antony dead?

Brutus is opposed to Cassius's desire to have Mark Antony killed, believing that it would be an unjust act that could tarnish their cause. He argues that Antony poses no real threat if they remain honorable and that killing him would make them seem tyrannical. Brutus prioritizes moral integrity and the ideals of the republic over the immediate tactical advantage, fearing that such an act would undermine their purpose. He believes that allowing Antony to live could actually work in their favor, as it would provide an opportunity to present their actions as just.


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 does Cassius mean when he says Brutus can thank himself for the offending tongue?

The line is "Flatterers! Now, Brutus, thank yourself: This tongue had not offended so to-day, If Cassius might have ruled." in Act V Scene 1. Antony, Octavian, Brutus and Cassius are engaged in the traditional pre-battle shouting match. Antony has just let go with an attack on Brutus and Cassius, calling them flatterers because they sucked up to Caesar while Casca snuck up on him from behind. This is why Cassius says "Flatterers!" Then he turns to speak to Brutus, and says, "This tongue had not offended so today if Cassius might have ruled." "This tongue" is Cassius's tongue and it has, he thinks, offended Antony, so what he is saying is that his tongue would not have offended Antony so much if Cassius had his way. Or possibly it might mean Antony's tongue which has offended Cassius. Either way, what he is talking about is that conversation way back in Act 2 Scene 1 (remember?) where Cassius said "I think it is not meet Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar, should outlive Caesar." He means that if Brutus had agreed with Cassius at that point Antony would be dead and would not be around to take or give offence (or, more importantly, to lead an army against them three acts later). Thanks a heap, Brutus. Or in other words, "Now Brutus, thank yourself."


What does Antony think is the reason for Brutus and Cassius' armies having confronted them face-to-face?

Antony believes that the confrontation between Brutus and Cassius' armies is due to their desire for power and control, which has driven them to engage in battle. He perceives their actions as a result of ambition and the struggle for dominance in the political landscape after Caesar's assassination. Antony sees this clash as inevitable, stemming from the deep-seated conflicts and rivalries among the leaders. Ultimately, he thinks it reflects the chaotic aftermath of their choices and the consequences of their betrayal.

Was Marc Antony a great leader?

I think he was in the begining, because he was Caesars friend and was not part of the homicide. Antony was trying to betray brutus and Cassius, by talking about Caesar will on how Casaer would give money to Roman citizens. he did this because he liked Casaer. then he got alittle to carried away...


How did the roman people think of Marc Antony?

They did not think too well of him, and with some good reason. He was forceful and lacked the political charisma which Julius Caesar had, and except for defeating Cassius at Phillipi he was not very successful in battle. When Marc Antony sided with Cleopatra and married her, the Roman people began to regard him as a traitor; a perception that was egged on by Octavian's vicious propaganda.

Why does Caesar fear Cassius?

He thought him to be a shrewd contriver who was always busy judging people's minds. Caesar also reasoned out that Cassius was not gamesome, did not like merry-making like Antony. He said about Cassius that he smiled as if he was mocking at the opposite person. Such serious nature had plans in one's mind. So, he did not trust Cassius.
