Answer the following questions with your group on ONE sheet of paper with a proper MLA heading.
How does Antony’s use of figurative language in lines on page (from “Through this the well-belovèd Brutus stabbed” to “For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar’s angel”) contribute to the tone of his speech?
In what way was Brutus’s “the most unkindest cut of all” (line 177)?
Who is responsible for Cinna’s death and why?
How does Antony’s speech in Act 3.2 impact the behavior of the Plebeians in Act 3.3?
(Critical Thinking) Why did the conspirators kill Caesar? To what extent do the Plebeians share the values and goals of the conspirators?

8. Extra Credit… one more time
In Civil Disobedience, Thoreau states, “We love eloquence for its own sake, and not for any truth which it may utter, or any heroism it may inspire” (part 3, par. 18). How does Thoreau’s observation, as well your reading of Brutus and Antony’s speeches in Act of Julius Caesar, develop your understanding of the relationship between eloquence and the citizens of a given society?
