Question

Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar.

How does Brutus's reason for giving his monologue
compare to Antony's reason for giving his?
BRUTUS. Be patient till the last.
Romans, countrymen, and lovers! Hear me for my
cause, and be silent, that you may hear. Believe me
for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that
you may believe. Censure me in your wisdom, and
awake your senses, that you may the better judge.
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
Caesar's, to him I say that Brutus' love to Caesar
was no less than his. If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

O Brutus announces that he wants to explain that he killed Caesar because he loved Rome, while Antony says that he has come to bury Caesar.

Step-by-step explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the murder of Julius Caesar and the ensuing fight for the power to rule Rome. The play deals with themes of betrayal, loyalty, power, greed, leadership, etc.

In the given monologues from Antony and Brutus, we can see the different approaches and themes of each character's speech. While Brutus uses his monologue to justify his betrayal of Caesar, declaring that he did it for the greater cause of keeping Rome safe from a dictator while Antony uses his to simply reveals his own purpose- that of burying Caesar.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/last option.
