Mark Antony's primary goal in giving his speech at Caesar's funeral was to sway public opinion against the conspirators who assassinated Julius Caesar. By appealing to the emotions of the crowd and highlighting Caesar's achievements and his love for the people, Antony sought to incite anger and rebellion among the citizens of Rome. Ultimately, he aimed to consolidate power and avenge Caesar's death, positioning himself as a defender of Caesar's legacy and a leader in the ensuing chaos.

Is there another character that might qualify as hero in Julius Caesar?

Apart from whom? The play certainly centres on Brutus. Antony is an important character also. Either of them might qualify as a hero, depending on your definition.


Is Antony sincere when he says over Brutus' body This was the noblest Roman of them all?

You can probably play it either way. In the play Antony is portrayed as an expert in realpolitik, a political schemer with no ideals or goals apart from a lust for power. He might be expressing admiration for Brutus because he feels that that would be the politically correct thing to do, and will make him look good. Or it is also possible that now that Brutus is dead and no threat to him, Antony is free to admire Brutus's good qualities. It is a further possibility that Antony is being sincere but that in his mind being noble is no compliment; that he is has nothing but contempt for idealists.


What does Octavius respond when Antony tells him to attack from the left?

He says he will attack on the right and Antony can have the left. What was so good about the right side, who knows? Probably they were arguing about it just to prove which one of them was really in charge and which one was the lackey. Not a good sign in a partnership. You might guess that by the next play they'd be at each others' throats.
