Brutus

They fear that Caesar will gain too much power, and become king of Rome.

Pompey

Personal rivalry. His theme is "How come Caesar is so powerful when he is no better man than we are, and in fact is worse than me in swimming contests and the like." The future of Rome doesn't come into it.

Julius Caesar died in Curia of Pompey, Rome. Brutus died in or after the Battle of Philippi, which took place in Greece.

March 15

He's a guy that can see the future and thinks Caesar ought to be warned about his imminent death.

Calpurnia tries to persuade Caesar to not go to the capitol. She had a dream the night before and saw Caesar die.

OLAF

To "beg enfranchisement for Publius Cimber" means to seek or request the granting of rights or privileges, particularly the right to vote or participate in civic life, for Publius Cimber. In a historical context, this could refer to advocating for his inclusion or protection within a political system, often highlighting themes of justice and citizenship rights. The phrase evokes a sense of urgency and moral obligation to support an individual who may be marginalized or denied these rights.

Cassius convinces Brutus to join a conspiracy to assassinate Caesar because Caesar shows signs of wanting to become a king. Following the assassination, Antony rallies the mob against the assassinations. Octavius forms an alliance with Antony and they fight a battle against the conspirators. Caesar's ghost appears to Brutus, predicting disaster. Octavius and Antony win the battle. Brutus commits suicide and Antony declares that Brutus was "the noblest Roman of them all."

Antony is the most dangerous person in the Tragedy of Julius Caesar, because he is the most manipulative. During the funeral speeches, Antony manages to rally up the people to his cause when he uses manipulative techniques.

You can see that in these lines:

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their bones;

So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus

Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest--

For Brutus is an honourable man;

So are they all, all honourable men--

Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.

He was my friend, faithful and just to me:

But Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

He hath brought many captives home to Rome

Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:

Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

You all did see that on the Lupercal

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And, sure, he is an honourable man.

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,

But here I am to speak what I do know.

You all did love him once, not without cause:

What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?

O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,

And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;

My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,

And I must pause till it come back to me.

It's interesting that he starts the speech with, "

Friends, Romans, countrymen". He's saying that the people are his personal friends first, citizens second, and Italian's third. Brutus says, "Romans, countrymen, and lovers." Antony pretty much just flips around what Brutus says.

Antony is constantly repeating the phrase that the conspirators were "honorable men". He's doing this because he's trying to be sarcastic. Brutus makes the argument that he killed Caesar because he was ambition, and Antony responds with this:

He hath brought many captives home to Rome

Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:

Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

You all did see that on the Lupercal

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?

He's asking the people to look at the situation and ask themselves "Does it seem like Caesar was ambitious?"

Antony ends with this statement, after he has made the crowd angry:

Now let it work.-Mischief, thou art afoot,

Take thou what course thou wilt!

Clearly, Antony was fully aware of what he had done.

Antony also mentions this:

You all did love him once,-not without cause:

What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him?-

O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts,

And men have lost their reason!-Bear with me;

He's asking the people why they do not mourn for Caesar now, when they loved him so much. He's trying to build up the tension and anger that the people have.

Antony also mentions:

Moreover, he hath left you all his walks,

His private arbors, and new-planted orchards,

On this side Tiber: he hath left them you,

And to your heirs forever; common pleasures,

To walk abroad, and recreate yourselves.

Here was a Caesar! when comes such another?

Caesar left everything he owned to the people, and Antony is trying to show the people that Caesar really wasn't an evil man.

Overall, Antony plays a very innocent role and manipulates the people without directly breaking the parameters that the conspirators set forth.

He is an important part of Roman history. In the jigsaw of History, take Julius Caesar out, and you would have a piece of the historical history of the world - missing.

Research enhances the ability to persuade because once you know what is right about that certain research you can persuade anyone in the whole world!

NO

he calls himself stupid

Act 5

He commits suicide after losing the fight. Brutus does too a few moments later.

Antony when he is giving his speech at the funeral

"Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous."

Although many would claim that the clamatic scene is when the titale character gets knifed, my personal opinion is that it comes much later. Julius Caesar is actually much more about Brutus; some critics have even suggested that Brutus was an early version of Hamlet.

In any case, the play deals largely with Brutus's downfall. His part in the regicide is inspired by a desire to help his people avoid tyranny, and yet after Caesar's death, he is driven out of Rome and the very people he sought to help want his blood. In addition, he must cope with the guilt he feels at killing his friend. He must also try to stick with Cassius, despite the fact that he now sees the manipulation Cassius has used upon him, because alone the two armies will definitely fall.

So in my opinion, the climax comes with Brutus 'honorable' death at the end of the play, when he takes the only course he can see remaining out of his predicament.
