Question

From his speech in Act III, scene ii of Julius Caesar, what can you infer about Mark Antony's feelings for Caesar?

A. That he considered Caesar a friend
B. That he is sorry he murdered Caesar
C. That he was angry at Caesar's behavior
D. That he is happy Caesar is finally dead

Answer 1

its A.that he considered caesar a friend

Answer 2

The correct answer is A.

Antony reminds the plebeian listeners about all the good things that Caesar had done for them, lest they be forgotten. He confirms Brutus' accusations against Caesar that he was too ambitious, but at the same time refutes them, illustrating Caesar's modesty and common sense with a couple of examples. With this, Antony pays respect to his murdered friend, but also prepares the ground for his own political ascent, by cunningly denouncing the conspirators.
