ReplyDeleteThe fickle crowd of Roman plebians that gather after the assasination of Julius Caesar is influenced by the words of both Brutus and Marc Antony. When the citizens first hear the reasons that Brutus propounds for the slaying of Caesar, that he loves Rome more than he does Caesar, and that he and the others slayed Caesar to save Rome from tyranny and keep them free, they cheer Brutus and tell him to live, rather than sacrifice his life at their demand. In fact, some want to erect a statue of him, while others suggest that he become a Caesar.However, after this same crowd listens to Mark Antony's oration, they are easily moved by his rhetoric; consequently, they begin to doubt Brutus and the others' noble deed in slaying Caesar.
