week 2 Act 3 Scene 2

Antony 
Moreover, he hath left you all his walks,
His private arbors, and new planted orchards,
On this side Tiber; he hath left them you,
And to your hiers forever: common pleasures,
To walk abroad and recreate yourselves.
Here was Caesar! When comes such another ?


Response 
This monolog was the most significant to me because it shows Antony telling the Romans all the great things Caesar left for them  This enrages the Romans wanting to seek revenge even more. Its important because this shows that Romans have had it.  They feel bad for the killing of Caesar since he did all these good things for them. Its also showing that Caesar wasn't ambitious it shows the opposite that he left them things. Which makes the Romans evan more mad.


Questions
Do you believe that the Romans will seek revenge ?

Why is Antony defending Caesar ?

  1. yes i think they will because at the end they're saying how they're going to burn his body in the holy place with the brands of his killer's houses. then throughout antony saying, they keep repeating, "revenge".

    Antony is defending Caesar bcause that's his friend! he's trying to get justice for him!
