Final answer:
Brutus asks the crowd to listen to him and explains the justification for Caesar's assassination.
Step-by-step explanation:
After Caesar's assassination, the last thing Brutus asks the crowd is for them to listen to him. He appeals to the crowd's emotions and attempts to justify the assassination by explaining that it was done to preserve the freedom and democracy of Rome. He then encourages the crowd to stay and listen to Antony's speech, believing that Antony's words will reinforce their support for the conspirators. However, this decision ultimately backfires as Antony's speech turns the crowd against the conspirators, leading to their downfall.
