Brutus ‘buries’ Caesar in his speech defending his treachery, after murdering him, and then Marc Antony comes along and tears Brutus a new one. We rarely read about Marc Antony's amazing rebuke of Brutus. I actually wept when I read it decades ago.
lius Ceasar by Shakespeare was a powerful emotional work.
Agree
Charlton Heston’s performance of Mark Antony’s speech is one of my favorites.
I’ve read it and a parody of Antony’s speech.
“Friends Romans Countrymen, Lend me your ears!
I will return them next Tuesday.
I come to bury Caesar because the times are tough and his family cannot afford an undertaker.”
