Read the excerpt below from act 3.1 of the tragedy of julius caesar and answer the question that follows.

antony:
thou art the ruins of the noblest man
that ever livèd in the tide of times.
woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!

mark antony speaks these lines in an aside after asking brutus for permission to speak at caesar’s funeral. how do mark antony’s statements relate to the plot of the play?

a. they show that the conspirators and mark antony agree that caesar should have been assassinated.
b. they show a conflict between the conspirators and mark antony regarding caesar's death.
c. they show that mark antony did not like caesar.
d. they show that mark antony wants brutus to be the new ruler.

b.They show a conflict between the conspirators and Mark Antony regarding Caesar's death.

In this passage, we learn about Antony's reaction to Caesar's assassination. He tells us that he considered the conspirators to have been the noblest men that ever lived. However, they are now ruins of who they were before, because they shed such valuable blood. He makes his pain and regret even more obvious by starting his exclamation with the word "woe." Therefore, we learn that there is a conflict between the conspirators and Mark Antony regarding Caesar's death. He does not believe the death was necessary and seems to be sorry it ever took place.
