To show his emotions

The two speeches by Antony and Brutus are complete opposite of each-other. Brutus offers a calm, easy-going approach, while Antony wants to see "blood", "revenge" and "havoc". The latter's speech is very emotional. Of course, both of them want to control the crowd. Brutus wants to do it in a calm way, while Antony uses an aggressive style. Actually, the style helps Antony to win the crowd over Brutus.
