Question

whom does antony call 'the choice and master spirits of this age"?why? how do Brutus and cassius respond to his speech?

Answer 1

Atony called ceaser as " the choice and master spirits of this age" because when he was alive he did a lot for Rome his conquests, glories, triumphs and spoils made him noblest of all. When Antony took the permission of speaking before the Roman mob both Brutus and Cassius responded differentialy to it as Cassius was a better judge of man and matters he knew that Antony could turn the tide against them he was not in the favour of giving him permission at all, on the other hand Brutus was an idealist he allowed Antony to speak before Roman mob but after imposing some conditions on him he thought that Antony would never dare to contradict him and felt safe.
