After the conspirators murdered Caesar, Brutus goes to make a speech to the people of Rome on why he had to kill Caesar. Antony ended up showing up, with Caesar's body, to give his own speech on why Brutus was wrong for killing Caesar. Brutus and Antony’s speeches to the people of Rome were similar in some ways.

his speech: he won over the Roman citizens by effectively reasoning and persuading them of Caesar’s benevolence. One way Antony aroused the crowd’s emotions was by presenting the will Caesar had supposedly left the citizens. Antony claimed that “they would go and kiss dead Caesar’s wounds” if they heard of what Caesar did for them. Antony enticed the crowd even more when he said “it is not meet you know how much Caesar loved you,” which only further captured the Romans attention. While he had…

had killed Caesar because he loved Rome more, that if Caesar was still alive that the people of Rome would die slaves and that they wouldn’t be free men if he were still alive.

The main reason that I believe Caesar is a betrayer He killed his best friend. He killed him because he thought that he was making the right choice for Rome. He…
