This helped Antony in convincing the crowd about Caesar's innocence and greatness. Subsequently, question is, why does the speaker read Caesar's will to the citizens? Here is the will , and under Caesar's seal. In the will : Caesar gave every man seventy-five drachmas. Antony speaks again, saying that he would gladly stir them to mutiny and rebellion, though he will not harm Brutus or Cassius, for they are—again—honorable men. He then brings out Caesar's will. The plebeians beg him to read it.
Antony says that he should not, for then they would be touched by Caesar's love for them. What did Brutus say at Caesar's funeral? I have come here to bury Caesar, not to praise him. With the permission of Brutus and the others—for Brutus is an honorable man; they are all honorable men—I have come here to speak at Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, he was faithful and just to me. What reasons does Brutus give for killing Caesar? Brutus then leaves and Antony make the crowd to a point of craziness no one could stop them and try to kill all conspirators or people who have the same name as the conspirators. Reading books is a way to gain knowledge about many different subjects. Reading also gives people the ability to learn new skills. He supposedly reads Caesars will. It it proves that Caesar was not a tyrant and that he loved and cared for his people.
Mark Anthony then goes on to show the crowd the bloodied robe of Caesar and calls out Brutus and the conspirators for what they really are, treasonous murderers. The relationship between Cleopatra and Marc Antony caused the downfall of the country. The Roman people were infuriated about it and it was the excuse that Octavian needed to go to war with Antony. They all want Antony to read Caesar's will. It was Marc Anthony.
Bruttus was one of the people who killed him. Mark Antony gave the eulogy at Caesar's funeral. By raising in the air the blood stained toga that Caesar died in, Antony was requesting the Roman people to seek revenge on Caesar's killers. Your question may be unclear. However, Caesars wife Calpurnia, was unable to have children.
Caesar told Anthony, 'before you go, touch Calpernia, people say that if you touch an infertile woman at festival time she will be freed of infertility'. In 43 BC the triumvirs had certain people proscribed. Cicero was one of them who Marc Antony refused to remove from the list, as they had a long standing feud. Although Antony did not personally kill him, Cicero was still a victim of the proscriptions, which Antony authorized. Cicero wanted Rome to fight Antony because he said Antony was attacking a general of the Roman people I really don't know if that is right though, I got it out of a book.
Caesar's will was told to the people by Mark Antony. They were suckered into doing just what Antony intended, attacking the conspirators and driving them from Rome. Antony told the Romans to avenge the death of Caesar, and help him track down and kill his assassins. Log in. He believed that Caesar was the only one that had the power, and as long as Caesar was dead Antony would leave them alone.
You might also want to include some notes as to why this is Logos, Pathos or Ethos. His message is that he had to kill Caesar because Caesar was too ambitious and he would enslave the Romans if he lived. In act 3, scene 1, the conspirators bathe their hands and swords in Julius Caesar's blood , signifying that they take full responsibility for his assassination.
Brutus and Cassius respond to the of Antony in different ways. Cassius feels the Antony's words will affect the audience so that it goes against them. At this Brutus's that he will address the public first, giving the reasons for Caesar's assassination. He Antony will speak later on only with their permission. When Mark Antony enters the scene after Caesar's death, the very first thing he asks the conspirators is if they plan to kill him , too. Since Brutus has been put at ease by Antony's gesture of peace, he willingly permits Antony to do so despite Cassius's warning that Antony could turn the public against them.
I have come here to bury Caesar , not to praise him. With the permission of Brutus and the others—for Brutus is an honorable man; they are all honorable men—I have come here to speak at Caesar's funeral. He was my friend, he was faithful and just to me. Mark Antony was devoted to Julius Caesar. He loved him as if he were his own father. He disguises his feelings when he is meeting with the conspirators after the assassination , but when he is alone with Caesar's body he expresses his feelings eloquently.
Caesar's will reveals that Caesar left each citizen 75 silver coins drachmas and land. The crowd is both happy for Caesar leaving them money and angry about the murder of Caesar by the conspirators. If Caesar claims absolute power and becomes crowned as king, the Roman Republic will end as they know it.
While Julius Caesar does show that the conspirators have some valid reasons to fear Caesar—mainly because Caesar really does regard himself as superior—the play presents this decision as a mistake in several ways. The decision itself is made in sinister circumstances, in the midst of a storm and with the conspirators masked.
There are differing responses to this question, depending on which character provides the answer. Casca explains to Brutus and Cassius that, in the arena, Caesar refused the crown every time Antony offered it because each time he refused, the crowd responded uproariously. On the other hand, Antony uses the same incident to reveal that Caesar refused the crown because he was not ambitious or power-hungry. There is the obvious euphemistic interpretation that silence means death, suggesting Caesar had the two tribunes killed for speaking out against him in public.
Yet other theories suggest that the pair may have been stripped of rank and possibly tortured, having their tongues cut out, or that they were simply threatened, stripped of rank, and forced to stop publicly opposing Caesar. Antony shakes hands with the conspirators to make them believe that he does not have ill intentions toward them.
During their dispute in Act 4, scene 3, Brutus informs Cassius that Portia is dead. However, at some point Caesar adopts Octavius as his son.
