Antony wants everyone's attention because he has
very important things to say about Caesar.
Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar,
ANTONY. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your
ears.
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with
their bones.
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious.
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answered it.
Antony only wants to bury Caesar; he is not there to
tell everyone how great Caesar was.
0 The mistakes men make are remembered after their
deaths, but their merits die with them.
If Caesar was power hungry, it was a serious flaw, and
he paid seriously for it.
Brutus says that Caesar was motivated by power, and
Antony agrees with this assessment.
