Question

Antony proved that he was a true friend at the end. Such friendships are rare. Describe how he proved to be a true friend of Caesar?

Answer 1

Caesar though being so beneficial to the welfare of Romans was killed by stabbing by his fellow senators and even his beloved and trusted friend Brutus. However when his really true and loved friend Antony sees Caesar lying on the low ground in a pool of blood and he's as nonliving as the ground.
Now as he wanted to avenge Caesar's death he decided to give a speech in Caesar's funeral. So he being polite meek and sensitive towards the conspirators gave the speech without offending them however he described how great Caesar was and how he wasn't ambitious as he thrice refused to become the king at the Feast of Lupercal. Thus by turning the tables against the conspirators and turning the mob and the Roman people against the conspirators he avenged the death of his beloved friend Caesar.
Thus Antony proved that he was a true friend at the end. And Caesar was really lucky as he had an honest friend like Mark Antony.

Answer 2

Antony pretty cleverly instigated the Romans against Brutus. Through an excellent speech directed against the conspirators yet indirectly, he managed to make Caeser worthy in their eyes. Thus, he rightfully avenged Caeser's death and proved to be a true friend.
