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 conspiracy cannot make Roman people follow them as planned. Oppositely, the mob wants to kill the conspirators because you kill the Great Caesar in their mind. In that situation, all of you will flee away the city and in danger. In conclusion, I honestly tell the truth about future if you still plan to murder Julius Caesar.

Personally, I hope the nobles are going to assist Caesar to become the king and help him to rule the
Caesar, a strong and powerful man that doesn’t appear to have any fears. With only revealing slight fears to very trustworthy followers Caesar seemed to be invincible. “But I fear him not. Yet if my name were liable to fear, I do not know the man I should avoid so soon as that spare Cassius.” (I, II, 208-211). The Conspirators saw this as a threat and from that moment planned vengeance on Caesar. While intimidating and harsh the people of Rome adored him. The lines of Flavius when Caesar returns to Rome “Hence! Home, you idle creatures, get you home! Is this a holiday? What, know you not, being mechanical, you ought not to walk upon a laboring day without the sign of your profession?” (I, I, 1-5). They treated his return like a holiday, a festival. Even with this in mind, the Conspirators worries worsened that Caesar would become an overpowering dictator that put Rome at risk. In this situation most citizens would say spare Caesar, but the Conspirators were set on killing him. In the end the Conspirators did what they thought was right and killed Caesar in the senate, but were they right?
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.

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.
Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) was one of the most outstanding leaders in history. He was the first ruler of the Romano-Hellenic civilization and achieved his goals with great success throughout his life of 56 years.

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...
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.

“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).

Cicero was able to stop the conspiracy and avoid the Republic from falling into the hands of his opposition.

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
