well, because for one Antony is Caesar's friend and for two he wants revenge on the conspirators for killing his best friend. So to get revenge on the conspirators Antony is going to get the crowd to turn against the conspirators and get back at them for murdering Caesar.
To assure them that he will not oppose them, to plead for his life, and to ask to meet with them.
He speaks publically, turning the crowd against the conspirators.
The reason Antony does this is to make the citizens/ the poor to go and against Cassius, Brutus, and the conspirators. :D
Brutus because Antony is very power hungry and Brutus wants the best for Rome.
" Thy master is a wise and valiant Roman;I never thought him worse.Tell him, so please him come unto this place,He shall be satisfied; and, by my honour,Depart untouch'd. "As in "if he wishes to come here, we will explain ourselves and leave him unharmed."
During Caesar's funeral, Antony refers to Brutus as an honorable man. This is said sarcastically as Brutus was a traitor to Caesar.
Strato
Mark Antony's. He says to Brutus, "Thus, Brutus, did my master bid me kneel; thus did Mark Antony bid me fall down."
One reason Brutus allows Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral is to show the people of Rome that they have nothing to fear and to gain their trust. Another reason may be to uphold the appearance of honorable behavior and to maintain that the conspirators acted out of love for Rome. It also gives Brutus and the conspirators the opportunity to present their side of the story and justify their actions.
Brutus and Antony.
he killed himself
Because Antony promised he would not do the very thing he ended up doing, and Brutus trusted him. Unfortunately for Brutus he really was an "honourable man".
The reason Antony does this is to make the citizens/ the poor to go and against Cassius, Brutus, and the conspirators. :D
this basically means that Brutus was the cause of Caesars death, thus Antony was referring to brutus in that statement
Antony would have his way with or without his approval because he is the head of the army.
Brutus says that he will not harm Antony and sends the servant to bid him come. Brutus remarks to Cassius that Antony will surely be an ally now, but Cassius replies that he still has misgivings.
Brutus says that he will not harm Antony and sends the servant to bid him come. Brutus remarks to Cassius that Antony will surely be an ally now, but Cassius replies that he still has misgivings.
He made two decisions about Antony, he firstly decides not to kill him along with Caesar in fear of being seen as "butchers"; and after the assassination of Caesar, he decides to allow Antony to speak at caesars funeral. which in turn is brutus' ultimate downfall.
The crowd did react to Brutus and Anthony funeral speeches because they had much intellectual appeal.
