Answer:

Brutus creates closure, whereas Antony stimulates anger.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two monologues in question are from Act III scene ii of the play "The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare. The two monologues are from the scene where Brutus had addressed the people after the death of Caesar and Antony had also came to view the body. He then addressed the people right after the exit of Brutus.

The last remarks of the two monologues are-

Brutus remarks that he wants the people to pay their respects to Caesar and told the, that Antony will address the people. After giving his leave, he exit and from there Antony began his speech.

Whereas, Antony's speech details the goodness and wholehearted sacrifice of Caesar for his people. The "over ambitious" nature that Brutus accused Caesar of, was what led him to be a great leader for his whole acts and aims was for the good of his people. He even mentioned that Caesar had written in his will that the people of Rome are to be his inheritors.

Thus, the two monologues that the two leaders gave after the death of Caesar are quite different in that, Brutus' monologue creates closure for everyone, not only himself. He accepts the death of Caesar and implores the people to do so too. But Antony's monologue rather stimulates anger in the people.
