Why does Antony tell the crowd that he does not plan to read Caesar's will to them?
In "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar," Julius Caesar didn't take the soothsayer, Artemidorus seriously, and saw his insistence that he look at the letter immediately a sign of the man's insanity. As a result, he didn't look at the letter that could have saved his life.

What reason does Antony give for why he cannot read Caesars will?
Well, it mustn't be forgotten that Anthony is sweet talking throughout his whole funeral speech because he wanted to turn the crowd back against Brutus and Cassius to get his own personal revenge, which he did in the end but this isn't the point. Blimey that was a long sentence, but anyhoo, the main point Anthony uses as to why he can't possibly tell the plebians the contents of Caesar's will is that :"You are not wood, you are not stones, but men, and, being men, hearing the will of Caesar, it will inflame you, it will make you mad."This means: 'the fact that you loved Caesar so much means that his generosity, this wil surely be shown in the will, will anger you as you will be angry towards the conspiritors as they took this wonderful man away from you'This was a petty excuse but he knew that the plebians would insist to hear the will anyway and this was all part of Anthony's key scam of turning the Romans against Caius Cassius and Marcus Brutus.He says that if the crowd heard how generous Caesar had been toward them they will be driven mad. Of course, by explaining why they will be angry, he has given away the same information, but that is, of course, his plan.He tells the people that he won't tell them what's in the will because if they know that Caesar had willed things to them, they would get angry at Brutus and the other conspirators. Of course, he is being ironic and is telling them what is in the will at the same time as he is refusing to read it, and is refusing to do something which will make the crowd angry at Brutus as a part of his plan to make the crowd angry at Brutus.
What does Antony offer Caesar in the marketplace?
After the conspirators have stabbed Caesar to death, Antony sends a message to Brutus, asking permission to speak with Brutus about what has happened. Brutus grants permission and says that he is sure that Antony will be on their side. Cassius, however, doesn't trust Antony, so when Antony appears, Cassius says to him, "Your voice voice shall be any man's / In the disposing of new dignities." Essentially, Cassius is offering Antony a kind of bribe to not oppose Brutus. If Antony has a "voice" in appointments to various offices, he can richly reward himself and his followers.

How does Suetonius description of Caesar's funeral differ from William Shakespeare's description?
Most importantly, in Suetonius's description, Antony speaks "but briefly" and Brutus did not speak at all. Antony did arrange (he was consul and it was his job) to have a song sung with the words "Saved I these men that they might murder me?", and had the heralds read out the oath the Senators had taken (under duress) to protect Caesar's life. Caesar was cremated shortly thereafter according to Suetonius.
Who does brutus soliloquy at the beginning of act 2 reveal his true feelings about Is it caesar antony his servant or his wife?
If you take the trouble to read it, this soliloquy, which starts with the sentence "It must be by his death" and ends with "And therefore think him as a serpent's egg which, hatched, would, as his kind, grow mischievous, and kill him in the shell" twice names the person it concerns. It does not name any other person. Get out your copy of the play, find the soliloquy and look for the names Caesar, Antony, Lucius (that's the servant) and Portia (that's Brutus's wife).
