Main Characters
Mark Antony
Cassius
Antony is a skillfull and unscrupulous politician. Unlike Brutus, he is a great orator who uses his ability to win public support and to achieve his goal in the society

The plot

The population is divided into two factions: Mark Antony's and the conspirators'.
Main themes of the tragedy
1) Ambition and power. 2) Leaders and leadership. 3) Conflict between public duty and personal interest. 4) The role of language in politics.
Style and language analysis
-Use of Metaphors “he doth bestride the narrow world / Like a Colossus” - Repetition of Names -The tone is emotional and persuasive. -Lexical Field of Power and Inferiority Shakespeare uses words connected with greatness and submission: “Colossus”, “great” → power and dominance “petty men”, “underlings”, “dishonourable graves” → weakness and humiliation -Exclamations and Dramatic Language “Age, thou art shamed!” and “Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods!”
Reenacting
Cassius and Brutus confront each other about Caesar's growing power.
BRUTUS: Another roar! The crowd is giving Caesar even more power. Every cheer makes me fear for the Republic. CASSIUS: Why should he be so big while we are so small? He struts over the world like a giant, and we crawl under his legs like ants. BRUTUS: Perhaps it is just our destiny, Cassius. CASSIUS: No! We control our own lives. The fault isn't in the stars, Brutus—it’s in us for being too weak to stand up. Why is "Caesar" a better name than "Brutus"? They sound the same and they don't weigh the same. BRUTUS: But he is my friend. He is only a man, not a god. I can't do anything. CASSIUS: Then stop treating him like a god! Your name is just as powerful as his. It's time to return to the prime. BRUTUS: I will think about what you have said. I will not be a slave.
Reenacting
CAESAR: Are you all ready? What is wrong now that the Senate must fix? METELLUS CIMBER: Mighty Caesar, I kneel before you. Please forgive my brother and bring him back to Rome. CAESAR: No. I will not change my decision. Do not think I can be moved by begging or sweet words. I am firm. BRUTUS: Caesar, I ask you to free Publius Cimber from exile. CAESAR: Even you, Brutus? I thought you were different. CASSIUS: Caesar, please have mercy! CAESAR: I will not change my mind. I stay constant like the North Star. CASCA: Enough talking! ALL CONSPIRATORS: (stabbing him) For Rome! CAESAR: Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi.
