Answer 1

The summary of this passage paints Brutus as the main antagonist who hypocritically kills Caeser and then basks in his blood.

Explanation:

This is one of the most memorable passages from Julius Ceaser play which is happening when the Ceaser is killed and Antonio is invited to give a speech on the eve of the assassination.

Instead of supporting the assailants he resorts to say that they are hypocritical murders and lays the blame mostly on Brutus who was a friend of Ceaser and now has killed him.

The graphic imagery conveys the magnitude of that betrayal and how Antonio feels that Brutus is responsible for the ruin of the city and his ruin of their friendship.
