In act 3 scene 2 how does Anthony feel about Caesar's death?
When he discovers that Caesar was murdered in scene 1, he has to be careful what he says to the conspirators, so one cannot take what he says to them at face value. We get a clearer idea in his soliloquy "O pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth" and from this speech we find that he is angry, incredibly angry, with the conspirators. He is determined to "cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" and thus "domestic fury and fierce civil strife shall cumber all the parts of Italy." In Scene 2 he takes the first step towards this goal by enraging the mob, and when they are enraged he says, "Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot; take thou what course thou wilt."

Why was every god after Julius Caesar named Caesar?
I'm not sure about every god being called ceasar but I know every emperor of Rome following Julius was named ceasar, and most of them were deemed gods by the senate. This was mainly because of how Roman names worked. Emporers starting with the 2nd (Augustus) used the name Ceasar as a way of linking themselves to him. It was like saying Ceasar was a god and I'm kinda related to him so what does that make me? Plus, from the days of the early republic "King" was a title the Roman people looked down upon. Using Ceasar's name in it's place was a way of being recognized as the King without being called one.
