After Caesar's death Antony wanted to carry his body to the marketplace and stand on the platform , give a funeral oration. I accepted his request. But Cassius tried to stop me by saying ''
Brutus, a word with you.You know not what you do. Do not consent. That Antony speak in his funeral. Know you how much the people may be moved.By that which he will utter? '' I decided to let Antony speak at the funeral. I was going to speak first. I told Antony that '' Mark Antony, here, take you Caesar's body. You shall not in your funeral speech blame us, but speak all good you can devise of Caesar. And say you do't by our permission; Else shall you not have any hand at all about his funeral and you shall speak ın the same pulpit whereto I am going, after my speech is ended.'' Antony agreed with me. I told the Plebeians the reason of Caesars death. I wanted to show them that ı cared them. So ı told them '' If then that friend demand. why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.'' This way ı thought that ı could take the Plebeians to my side. After this speech all the plebeians said '' Live , Brutus! Live , live.! '' Later on Antony's speech started. He was referring to peoples emotions. He read Caesars will. İn his will Caesar told that he had left 75 coins , his gardens to the Romans. I was shocked after Antony's eulogy speech.Later the plebeians said '' Peace there! Hear the noble Antony. We'll hear him. We'll follow him. We'l die with him.'' I realized that Antony managed to take the Plebeians over to his side. There was a chaos at the Capitol after his Speech. Antony's speech was the reason that ended our friendship. After this event unfortunately we were against each other.
