The reason Antony does this is to make the citizens/ the poor to go and against Cassius, Brutus, and the conspirators. :D
Caesars will was found in his bedroom.
Cassius knows that giving Antony a chance to speak at Caesar's funeral will put them in trouble as Brutus is a good orator and will sway the mob against him. He also knows that what they did was wrong and Antony will easily turn the people against them as truth is more powerul than treachery. The romans also love Caesar and that will definitely be a plus point for Antony.
Figure out a way to reduce Caesar's bequests to the people.
Antony: Myles Antony Ryan
Brutus sets these rules for Antony to abide by; 1. that Antony will not blame Brutus and the conspirators " You shall not in your funeral speech blame us" 2. to speak only of the good things Antony can think of about Caesar "speak all good you can devise of Caesar" 3. ensure that he [Antony] informs the plebeians/people that he is only speaking at Caesar's funeral because he was given permission to, by Brutus and co. "And say you do it by our permission" 4. that Antony will speak in the same pulpit where Brutus is going to speak "and you shall speak in the same pulpit whereto I am going" If Antony does not agree, then he "shall not have any hand at all about his [Caesar's] funeral" Hope that helps
