Antony beseeched Brutus to kill him as a demonstration of his loyalty and respect towards Brutus, despite their opposing sides following Caesar's assassination. He sought to convey that he would rather die than live in a world without Caesar, whom he deeply admired. This moment highlights Antony's emotional turmoil and serves to underscore the complex dynamics of power and friendship in the wake of political upheaval. Ultimately, it reflects Antony's strategic thinking, as he uses the plea to gain sympathy and leverage over Brutus and the conspirators.
