CASSIUS ESSAY!!!

(Act three scene 1 lines 183-210) This quote shows that Antony is outraged that the conspirators and shows that he is going to take revenge on those people who tried to plan something against him killed Caesar. The two words that motivate Antony are revenge and Caesar. He was going to revenge Caesar’s death because Caesar was the best friend and a good king to Antony and he believes that what he is doing is a noble goal because he is taking revenge of what brutal things that they did against Caesar

The word that describes his motivation is revenge because he believes that Caesar was going to be a good king to everyone and a good friend to him. After Caesar died, he was outraged of the people that betrayed Caesar so he started going around convincing people to join his army so that he can kill everyone that deceive Caesar. (Act four scene 3 lines 213-222) This passage shows that people started joining his army, which became more powerful and had more men to defeat the other armies of the conspirators. The Romans and other people in the play believes that this is a worthy goal because the conspirators killed Caesar for being ambitious but most of the people believe that they should be killed for killing Caesar without a purpose. In the end, his revenge is creates a worthy outcome when he kills all of the conspirators. Nevertheless, one more word makes him thrive for revenging Caesar.

A different word that inspires him is Caesar because he believed Caesar was a king who would never harm Rome and never do anything bad to other people. When Caesar was around Antony, Antony thought that he was good roman who would not cause harm or damage to the people but because he died, he could not stop thinking about Caesar so he decided to take revenge on those who have stabbed him. (Act three scene 1 lines 254-275) This shows how angry he is angry he is when his best friend has just been killed. He is so outraged that he wants to bring out the dogs of hell to kill the conspirators. He says and does all these things because he thinks about Caesar and his death. He thinks that this is a worthy goal for Octavius and himself because he is doing this because Caesar was their friend who was loyal and trustworthy to them. At the end of the story, he still thinks about Caesar but makes the conspirators his friend because he caused a lot of death just for killing Caesar.

The two motivators, that are revenge and Caesar, caused Antony to go wild. It caused him to make war about Caesar’s death and made people go against everyone. Antony was able to succeed in his goals, which worked perfectly. He was able to kill all the conspirators with a brutal war. He was able to win because he had more men and had more weapons, which caused the conspirators to give up and die. I think that the goals were just worthy, not a noble goal because I think that some people liked what Antony has done for the people of Rome but I think some nobles didn’t like what Antony has done. I think some people didn’t like it because they caused a lot of war that meant that they had a lot of blood and death.
