Julius Caesar was the Roman General who was sure to be elected as the King of Rome. However, there was a pro-Pompey faction, led by Caius Cassius that was against Caesar becoming the King. Cassius succeeded in winning many other like-minded personages on his side. Winning Marcus Brutus was crucial to the success of their conspiracy to assassinate Caesar. Ultimately, Cassius won Brutus over by leaving letters in different hands at Brutus’s house. Brutus got convinced that he must also oppose Caesar becoming the King. Thus Cassius, along with other conspirators, hatched a conspiracy to eliminate Caesar at Brutus’s house. The elaborate conspiracy consisted in calling Caesar at the Capitol. Metellus Cimber pleaded to Caesar to forgive his exiled brother, Publius Cimber. Caesar refused to listen to any of the conspirators, including Marcus Brutus, who was a very dear friend of Caesar’s.
The conspirators assassinated Caesar with their daggers, swords, etc, which they had secretly brought to the Capitol. Now Antony, Caesar’s friend handled the situation very wisely. He befriended the conspirators to bide his time until the right moment for revenge. He won their trust and took permission from them to formally bury Caesar. He accepted all the conditions of the conspirators.
So the body of the Caesar was produced at the market place. First of all Brutus gave a speech to the Roman crowd explaining them why he and other conspirators murdered Caesar. He explained to them the reason behind Caesar’s murder. The crowd accepted his reasons smilingly and lauded Brutus.
After Brutus’s speech came Antony’s turn to speak in Caesar’s funeral. Abiding by all the conditions, Antony gave such an enlightening and electrifying speech to the Roman crowd that it changed the entire mood of the crowd. He explained to them the motives of the conspirators. He gave to them proofs of Caesar’s innocence and love for the Roman people. He read out Caesar’s will to the Roman people according to which they were the heirs to his entire property and wealth. This enraged the crowd and the entire crowd rushed to take revenge from the conspirators. Thus, Antony succeeded in taking revenge of his friend, Caesar’s assassination. He did it with his rhetoric and public speaking skills.
