Why does Anotny read Caesar’s will to the citizens?
Why is Decius more successful in persuading Caesar than Calpurnia?
How do Brutus and Cassius respond to Antony's speech?
- Antony reads Caeser's will to the citizens to make them realize how much Caeser loved them and to prove that he was not selfish. He wanted the citizens to love caeser.
- Decius knows what Caesar likes to hear . He knows that Caesar could easily be flattered by words of praise. So, he used such a language which flattered Caesar completely whereas Calphurnia was very afrid for her husband's well-being. So, her language and tone did not suit Caesar's way of thinking and he thought that listening to the wife and staying back was the act of a coward, which he never wanted himself to be considered as so. Therefore, he went away with Decius.
- They somehow get to know that Antony has incited the mob in his speech, and escape, on horses, from the gates of Rome "riding like madmen"
Hope this helps......
