The Tragedy of Julius Caesar Is A

INTRODUCTION:
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a tragedy by William Shakespeare,

believed to have been written in 1599.[1] It portrays the 44
BC conspiracy against the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, his assassination
and the defeat of the conspirators at the Battle of Philippi. It is one of
several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman
history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra.
Although the title is Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar is not the most visible
character in its action; he appears in only five scenes. the central
psychological drama is his struggle between the conflicting demands
of honor, patriotism, and friendship. now let us elaborately discuss about
anotonys funeral speech which turns the mob against brutus and other
conspirators.
THE REQUEST:
Antony addresses the mob as his friends and
requests them to lend their ears to him
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your
ears;
He assures them that he was there only for
the burial of ceasar and not to praise him.
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
It is often said that the bad deeds committed
by people are eternal while the good deeds
made by them will be buried after their life

and let it be d same in case of ceasar as well.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar.
THE GRIEVOUS FAULT:
Our noble brutus had told you ppl that Caesar
was an ambitious man. If it was so , it was a
serious mistake and yes Caesar had paid for
it.
The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Now with the permission of brutus and the
rest I speak. Brutus is an honourable man and
so are the others.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest-For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honorable men

THE FAITHFUL FRIEND:
Now, coming to speak about Caesar, he was
my faithful friend and was only for me. But
brutus says he was ambitious and yeah brutus
is an honourable man.
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
THE GENERAL COFFERS FILL:
Caesar had brought many captives to his
home rome to fill the general coffer. Did dis
act of Caesar seem ambitious?
He hath brought many captives home to
Rome .
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
STERNER STUFF:
When the poor people hav cried ceadar wept

along with them. Ambition is made of a strong
heart . but still he is blamed for being
ambitious. Yet brutus an honourable man says
so!
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath
wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
THE FEST OF LUPERCAL:
All of you did see that Caesar thrice did refuse
the kingly crown presented by be. Was this
ambition? Yet an honourable man brutus says
that he was ambitious! And he was an
hournable man obviously.
you all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.

THE PAST LOVE FOR CAESAR:
Im not here to disprove what brutus spoke.
But im here to speak what I know. You people
did love him once for no cause. Now what
cause holds you people from crying for his
loss
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,

But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for
him?
Dear god! Please bear with me, my heart is
there in the coffin with Caesar, and I hav to
pause until it comes back to me
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me. [He

weeps]
THE HONOURABLE MEN:
last time brutus stood against the world, but
now he lies there, and now I cant do any
wrong to these honourable people like brutus
n cassius. Rather I will have to do wrong to
my friend, me and you people.
But yesterday the word of Caesar might
Have stood against the world; now lies he
there.
And none so poor to do him reverence.
O masters, if I were disposed to stir
Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,
I should do Brutus wrong, and Cassius wrong,
Who, you all know, are honourable men:
I will not do them wrong; I rather choose
To wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you,
Than I will wrong such honourable men.

CAESARS WILL:
I found a parchment with the seal Caesar it is
his well, which I found in his closet. But now
you have to apologize me as Im not going to
read it out loud. Rather ask you people to kiss
the dead wounds of Caesar which you can
explain you people even better. Let people dip
your napkins in the sacred blood of him, beg a
hair of him for his memory.
But here's a parchment with the seal of
Caesar;
I found it in his closet, 'tis his will:
Let but the commons hear this testament-Which, pardon me, I do not mean to read-And they would go and kiss dead Caesar's
wounds
And dip their napkins in his sacred blood,
Yea, beg a hair of him for memory,
And, dying, mention it within their wills,
Bequeathing it as a rich legacy

Unto their issue.
THE MOST UNKINDEST CUT OF ALL:The most
unkindest cut of all was the stab of brutus
which made ceasar not to retaliate . he cried
with an anguished cry of et tu brute
CONCLUSION:
This ironical speech made people realize the
loss of ceasar and that they werent
hounouable men but conspirators. The talk
about the will of Caesar and mention about
the good deeds of him made the mob to turn
against the conspirators.
