Question

Which of these passages best shows Antony’s character and the way he balances the power of the conspirators against the fury of the mob? You should reread these passages in context, and think about what Antony means rather than what he says.


a) Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; / I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

b) As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I slew him.

c) Now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke, / Fulfil your pleasure.

d) You know not what you do: do not consent / That Antony speak in his funeral: / Know you how much the people may be moved / By that which he will utter?
