The petition to allow Plebus back into the city; he denies the request.
That it will benefit Rome, and that should Caesar have come into power in the first place, he would have turned everybody in Rome into slaves, and used them.
Antony continuously refers to Brutus as being a “noble man.”
Antony’s speech gets the plebians all roused up, and they go run through the streets in search of conspirators; they even kill a man because he had the same last name as one of the conspirators.
Antony himself does not wish to be killed.
Brutus is convinced that Antony agrees with the conspirator’s actions, and thus allowed him to speak at Caesar’s funeral.
Caesar’s will had the people convinced that they were going to have a better life with him as ruler, thus winning over their hearts.
Hitler made speeches at humungous rallies, with vehement speech; he was an excellent orator. This characteristic made the people want to listen to him, and believe him. This is the relationship with Caesar, from the perspective of gaining the public's admiration.
First, Cassius tells Antony that his word is welcome, then tells Brutus, aside, that Antony’s word is dangerous, and shouldn’t be trusted.
Antony first says that Caesar was a grave threat to all, and that it is right that he was killed. Next, he contradicts himself, by denouncing the conspirators.
Brutus proclaims how much he loved Caesar, but then how much it was necessary that he die for the good of Rome.
In studying Caesar, I actually used this "No Fear Shakespeare" guide to better understand the literature. It provides an easy understanding of the play on the opposite side of the page. Very easy to understand, in my opinion.
