Marc Antony is the protagonist after Caesar is
assassinated. He is bent on destroying the cold-blooded murderers. Brutus and the other
conspirators flee, escaping with their lives. Fully aware that Antony is determined to
avenge Caesar's death, Brutus leads the conspirators in trying to save their
lives.
Antony will stop at nothing to see that Caesar's
murderers are brought to justice. Antony truly loved Caesar. He is not power hungry as
Caesar was. Although Brutus felt compelled to kill Caesar because he was too ambitious,
the act has now caused turmoil and endangered the conspirators'
lives.
Antony wants justice. He wants Brutus and the other
conspirators to pay for the death of Caesar. He wants their blood to spill as did they
spill Caesar's blood.
Is Antony justified for desiring the
conspirators blood is the question. Did Brutus and the other conspirators have a right
to kill Caesar? I believe they did. I believe Brutus was indeed an honorable man who
desired to protect the freedoms of his countrymen.
Antony
is acting out of hurt for his dear friend Caesar.
