Question

What was the attitude of conspirators towards Antony

Answer 1

When Cassius first approaches Brutus in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, to see if Brutus will join the group of men intent on assassinating Caesar, Brutus is at first hesitant, and rightly so. He is a smart man who loves Caesar—and his honor means everything to him. But he loves Rome more than Caesar orhimself. Brutus first shows caution with Cassius in Act One, scene two:

BRUTUS:

Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius,

That you would have me seek into myself

For that which is not in me? (68-70)

Brutus suspects that Cassius may have something in mind that Brutus does not have a heart for. Trumpets sound and there are shouts. The two men try to understand what is taking place...and Cassius is quick to surmise that Brutus does not want Caesar crowned "king."

BRUTUS:

What means this shouting? I do fear the people

Choose Caesar for their king.

CASSIUS:

Ay, do you fear it?

Then must I think you would not have it so.
