The citizens were already outraged about Caesar's death. Caesar was considered the hero of the people. Marc Antony's speech tapped into this feeling and named the conspirators. A riot broke out and the crowd went in search for the assassins.

Antony's Speech
In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, the murder of Caesar takes place in Act III Scene i. Act III Scene ii is the scene containing Caesar's funeral and Antony's famous speech, "Friends, Romans, Countrymen"
Antony in his speech said that in Caesar's will it said he was going to give everyone gold/money etc.
Anthony's speech incites the mob to rise up against the conspirators who assassinated Julius Caesar. By appealing to their emotions and presenting Caesar's achievements and the betrayal he faced, he stirs feelings of anger and betrayal among the crowd. Ultimately, this leads to chaos and violence as the mob seeks revenge against those responsible for Caesar's death.
In Mark Antony's speech from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," the term "butchers" refers to those who unjustly killed Julius Caesar. Antony uses this word to evoke strong emotions and portray the conspirators, particularly Brutus, as cruel and merciless. By labeling them as butchers, he emphasizes their betrayal and violence, contrasting their actions with Caesar's legacy and stirring the crowd's anger against them. This rhetorical choice helps to turn public sentiment against the conspirators.
The citizens were already outraged about Caesar's death. Caesar was considered the hero of the people. Marc Antony's speech tapped into this feeling and named the conspirators. A riot broke out and the crowd went in search for the assassins.
