Antony is the trusted lietenant who is popular with Caesar because he follows Julius Caesar by his heart instead of getting wealthy. You disagree with the argument of killing Antony or not because you don’t want to make bloody. However, after Caesar’s death, Antony will be the best speaker to take the chance to speak toward the crowd in public, and he will make a great speech that make people love Caesar more than you, and it causes people to make revenge for Caesar. The last but the most important thing for you to know is the crowd will be the most powerful and uncontrollable mob to kill anyone for any reasons. The mob is angry, and people lose their heads.

The book Julius Caesar is full of happiness, conspiracy, power, and betrayal. The people of Rome deeply loved julius Caesar and wished to make him their king. A group of senators however were not so fond of this idea and formed a conspiracy. The leader of this group was a man by the name of Cassius. In order to make sure that his scheme of killing Caesar would work and would look honorable he had to convince a senator by the name of Brutus to help. After being convinced that they had to kill Caesar to protect Rome from a tyrant Brutus joined the conspiracy and soon became the principal conspirator.On the day in which Caesar was to be crowned king he was on the way to the senate when he was stabbed by all the conspirators panic ensued and to convince Rome of their honorable intentions Brutus gave a funeral speech. Mark Antony, a very close friend of Caesar, gave his speech after Brutus had given his. Mark Antony’s speech is more persuasive to the Roman people because of his outstanding use of pathos, sarcasm, and logos.
Honor and power is what drives the conspirators to assassinate Julius Caesar in William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. Caesar is now the single leader of Rome, and members of the Senate have concerns that he will abuse his sole power. Therefore, they plot and accomplish the assassination of Caesar in an attempt to rebuild the balance of Rome. Rome falls into chaos with an unknown future with no central leader for the people to follow. In Act I, Scene 2, Cassius, a member of the Senate, explains to his friend, Brutus, that Caesar is not the god he makes himself out to be. Instead, he argues both he and Brutus are equal to Caesar and are just as deserving of the throne. Cassius’ speech to Brutus diminishes Caesar’s godly demeanor through
“Do you not feel that your plans are detected? Do you not see that your conspiracy is already arrested and rendered powerless by the knowledge which everyone here possesses of it?” (Cicero). Marcus Tullius Cicero was born on January 3, 106 BCE in modern-day Arpino, Lazio, Italy, where he served as Consul of the Roman Republic for a year in 63 BCE (Rawson, 303). While in office, Cicero was conspired against by Lucius Cataline in an attempt to kill a number of senators to overtake the Roman Republic in the Second Catilinarian Conspiracy (Clayton). Upon learning of Cataline’s intentions, Cicero gave an oration to the Senate in the Temple of Jupiter Stator against Cataline, to which he was surprisingly in attendance, in order to address him and his conspirators proclaiming his knowledge of their plans. Cicero was able to stop the conspiracy and avoid the Republic from falling into the hands of his opposition. Through the execution of five conspirators and the fleeing of Cataline, Cicero was able to put down the rebellion efficiently (Clayton). Cicero’s elaborate use of rhetorical questions, analogies, and mood precipitates an effective message that saves the course of the

Julius Caesar is the leader of Rome and is seeking to become king in a matter of time. Though he is a good military strategist, he lacks knowledge in running government and is too greedy to have any concern for the peasants when he is alive. Caesar is all about conquering and power and he is afraid of nothing. Before he is murdered, he says “The things that threatened me ne’er looked but on my back. When they shall see the face of Caesar, they are vanished” (II, ii, 575). Th...
Today, Julius Caesar is painstakingly studied and discussed in many historical texts. Many of these works hail his triumphs, and declare him one of the most prominent men to ever walk this earth.

They were jealous of his power and the Ultimately, Caesar’s pride helped cause the end of his life. He was so self-absorbed and so confident that Decius was telling him the truth that Calpurnia’s dream was taken the wrong way. Noble Caesar believed the Roman citizens loved him and that he was their lifeblood, but really they wanted him gone. It is possible that Caesar would have been killed by the conspirators another day, but since he did not listen to what the soothsayer and his own wife had to say, he was tragically taken for
Antony's transparent "sweet friends let me not stir you up to such a sudden flood of mutiny" is just the beginning of his carefully orchestrated urgings to them. When he finally sets them loose, it is with a "Now let it work." Mischief, thou art afoot, take thou what course thou wilt! " - an exclamation which sounds 'heartstrong', but not very well-thought out. Shakespeare advises that such a leader can be dangerous.

It was a lukewarm spring day; it smelt of flowers and freshly plowed dirt. I was at a small senate meeting when I had overheard Cassius and Brutus talking, planning. They were planning to kill our beloved general, Julius Caesar. I had not noticed that I was staring at them as if they had just brutally murdered my parents in front of me. They took notice, and they started walking towards me. My palms became sweaty and I could feel my heart pounding through my chest, but I was ready to fight, ready to kill. I grabbed my small copper dagger, warm to the touch from being tucked in my toga. Then, Cassius spoke, “If you are so eager to fight, why don’t you help us do something, not just us, but Rome?” I was outraged I could
