Up With Kaiser ! Down With The Liberators !

He wants to put him to rest peacefully, but not praise him. In this moment, Antony was being honorable.

Brutus first states, “[Would you rather Caesar] living, and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead to live a freemen” Then Antony came back with “You all did love him once, not without cause. What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him?” After Brutus’ speech, Antony was able to evoke the feeling of the audience and bring them back, before his death and see what they had loved within Caesar before his death. All of his accomplishments were able to evoke the emotions they had before his death and then wanted to actually kill Brutus. In the next Scene, it mentioned a major consequence of the words that Antony had spoken. The famous poet Cinna was killed. However, he wasn’t even involved in the assassination of Caesar. That was how much emotion he was able to evoke in the people in Rome. Although ethos could establish the cold, hard truth, pathos can get under peoples skin and effect them and draw them into your cause. In which case it is Antony's'

Many people know that Julius Caesar was betrayed and killed by many people who he had thought to be his friends. Some less common knowledge is that he did still have friends and others who stayed loyal to him. One man named Mark Antony was the most loyal of them all, even after Caesar’s death. When he found out Caesar had been killed, he began plotting to get on the traitor’s good sides and make it seem as if he had joined them so that he could convince the citizens to fight against them with him. He deceived the traitors and convinced them to let him speak at Caesar’s funeral, and in this speech he turned the citizens against them using very powerful rhetorical skills. After he had drove the traitors from the city, he took control of the city and led them to victory in a war against the conspirator’s armies. These are three telling examples that prove Antony’s skill and potential as a leader.

Antony was devoted and preferred to be dependent upon Julius Caesar since he rather have enjoyed life than to claim the highest position in the government. He wanted the crown to be given to Caesar so that all conflicts could be avoided. However, this additional power contributed to the conspirator's motive to assassinate him. Antony was distraught with Caesar's death and sought revenge first by speaking to the crowd in his

Even in the hardest times, Antony shows honor through his actions. The very first time Antony is introduced to the reader, he shows his nobility to Caesar. He responds to Caesar’s simple request by saying, “when

Antony did not have such an elite status in his play up until Caesar died, but many peasants called Antony noble throughout Julius Caesar. For example, they said, "There's not a nobler man in Rome than Antony," (Shakespeare 3.2.114). Thus, Antony was considered noble even by the common man. His noble reputation was further established by his devout commitment to Caesar. Antony's loyalty to Caesar is first made apparent when he offers Caesar the crown. Casca exclaimed, "I saw Mark Antony offer him a crown," (Shakespeare 1.2.236-237) which is a simple gesture with a powerful message. It shows the people that Antony is no foe to Caesar and wishes to see his friend succeed as leader. No jealousy or scheme to overthrow Caesar was hinted at by Antony. Moreover, he vouched to die when Caesar did: "I shall not find myself so apt to die; No place will please me

This includes a lot of drinking wine and liquor. He appeals for the people of Rome by their feeling about the death of Julius Caesar. Antony stabbed Julius because he was jealous of the power that he is gaining and is gonna have until he dies. Rome supported Caesar very well. Antony wanted to be in the palace of Caesar, he wanted the fame and the people to love him like they did Caesar. Although Caesar was good friends with Antony and treated him right that wasn't good enough for him. He wanted the fame to himself. He didn't give a formal speech. Antony actual cries and gets all the rough tough men to sob with him. He told people what they wanted to

Tried to make himself tyrant by seizing the acropolis, but he was unsuccessful. This led the family to be put under a public curse.

As of Antony he seems to be a harmless friend of Caesar, and Brutus is a monster for killing his best friend Cassius. After Caesars death everything started to change. Antony went to entreat his life to Brutus, pleading with him after all he was the one who stabbed a knife at his close friend, Caesar. Which then questions was Antony truly noble? He did swear his allegiance to Brutus, but for what purpose? Probably to save his life, but it has no good in it if he were to die for Caesar just leaving his memories and reputation. Antony saving his life is not only for him but for Caesars benefit. By Antony convincing Brutus that he's in his side, he was able to make his funeral speech. In Antonys speech he used repetition, “But Brutus says he was ambitious and Brutus is an honorable man”. Each time he repeated that phrase, Caesar seemed less ambitious and Brutus less honorable, but until Brutus was claimed admirable. Even if Antony were to not make that speech, Brutus would have still been suffering. He lost all of his allies, his best friend, his wife killed herself, and also Rome itself. This plays as if Brutus has stabbed himself in the back for betraying Caesar while Antony was just hurt for the death of his best friend. Brutus was filled with regret, guilt and the country he were to protect was even against him. As of Antony he had just lost the one person he had always been loyal

One must engage in very close reading of the text to determine the cause and the signs of change. Issues for discussion include whether Antony is carried away by personal power, whether he is driven by desire for vengeance to assuage his personal grief, and whether these things constitute a desire to act for his friend or for himself. Antony's final speech is essentially a repeat of Brutus' rhetoric following Caesar's murder, and Antony's transformation is complete.

As Caesar’s right hand man, Antony is very close to Caesar throughout the book. So close in fact that he is always next to Caesar, willing to serve him. Now in that day and age people could most likely agree that kings were sometimes called a “Lord”, but for Antony to be calling a man who has yet to become king his Lord… that displays just how much he loved Caesar and how willing he was to serve right alongside the man who considers himself “as constant as the Northern Star”(3.1,91). Another example of Antony’s loyalty occurs when he replies to Caesar about the suspicious unknown conspirator Cassius, “Fear him not…” (1.2, 196). Antony’s relationship with Caesar is similar to the relationship of a mother and a child. It is similar because of the fact that Antony looks after Caesar just as a mother does on her young boy. Antony is always next to Caesar assuring him he has nothing to worry about and that he is

Augustus raised a force of 3000 men from his “Father’s” veterans. But among the supporters of Caesar, Octavian also had a natural opponent - Mark Antony, the dictator's trusted lieutenant. Mark Antony was not at all like Octavian. He was a lot more attractive and physically stronger. Octavian had called upon Antony for help and support but was disappointed to find that he was jealous because Octavian had been named heir rather than himself.

Antony is a soldier foremost, and his actions at the moment, that of wealth and slack are not becoming of a soldier or, Shakespeare thinks, even a man. This point is made even more solid when Antony himself says it; “O, my fortunes have/Corrupted honest men!”(IV.v.16-17). It hardly gets any plainer than that.

Finally, at the very end, Antony makes one last scholarly remark, truly convincing the audience that he is deserving of respect, simply because of his own policy of loyalty. “This was the noblest Roman of them all” (JC 5.5.74). In this line, Antony is referring to Brutus, after he had killed himself alongside the assistance of Strato, who held his sword as he ran into it aggressively, because Brutus would rather have died than remained with the gruesome thought that if he and Cassius had lived, they would simply be forced into slavery if they returned home. Shame, in
