Marc Antony was a master manipulator, and Brutus too naive to perceive that, Brutus idealism makes him to see Marc Antony only as a limb of Caesar's power, a follower of Caesar without ambitions of his own, and even allows him to give a speech at Caesar's funeral, which actually causes a riot against them.
