I really like your characters study of Caesar here, particularly the way you are using specific Act.scene.line citations to ground your understanding of his character. I think this will really help you when you need to review the play or use a posting to expand into a longer essay or refer to it in class. Interesting as well that you see Caesar’s arrogance as just as problematic as his ambition–that’s a subtle point of difference, but a good one, and you have clear examples of it from the play.

There is a certain sarcasm in Antony’s words. It is also very ironic the fact that he hails the murderers as noble men, i like that you pointed that out.
Ladonna,
This would be a great scene to record! It makes me wonder if the actor would say these lines in a serious manner or would he add in hints of sarcasm? Antony has a great stage presence and he has tremendous leadership qualities even if he isn’t the greatest friend. I do agree that Antony did not mean to intentionally turn the people against Caesar but I feel like the townspeople would eventually have turned against Caesar.
I think Marc Antony’s speech is a great speech to focus on while we are in Rome! It is one of the most powerful and persuasive speeches, filled with double meanings. It truly sets for a chain of events that leaves readers marveling at the power of words.
