1.

FRIENDS, ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN, LEND ME YOUR EARS; I COME TO BURY CAESAR,

NOT TO PRAISE HIM.
Antony addresses the commoners requesting them to listen to him.
Beginning his speech with the word 'Friends' Antony wishes to touch the
hearts of the people rousing their emotions. In contrast, Brutus started his
speech with the word "Romans" to appeal to their reason. Before Atony's
speech, Brutus had convinced the people justifying his action of killing
Caesar for the sake of Rome. Antony tacitly draws the people's attention to
undo the impression Brutus creates in their minds by telling them that he
has come to bury Caesar and not to praise him. Here's the first irony of
Antony's speech. of course, Antony praises Caesar throuahout his speech.

2. THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM ; THE GOOD IS OFT INTERRÉD WITH THEIR
BONES ;
These lines are suggestive of Antony making a hidden reference to the
conspirators when he says the evil which the men do lives after their death.
Here Antony appears to be talking of good and evil rather than life and
death. He elaborates further by saying that the good men do is often buried
along with the bones of the dead. In fact, Antony is attributing the evil to
the conspirators and the good to Caesar.

3. SO LET IT BE WITH CAESAR. THE NOBLE BRUTUS HATH TOLD YOU CAESAR WAS
AMBITIOUS:
With the opening few lines of his speech, Antony appears to have placated
the people by telling them to let Caesar suffer the fate which the noble
Brutus has set for him by branding him as an ambitious man. The intention
of Antony is clear that he wants to take the opinion of the people away
from the reasoning created by Brutus in their minds for Caesar's
assassination by calling him ambitious.

4. IF IT WERE SO, IT WAS A GRIEVOUS FAULT, HATH TOLD YOU CAESAR WAS
AMBITIOUS: AND GRIEVOUSLY HATH CAESAR ANSWER 'D IT.
 Building upon his previous thought, Antony masterfully continues eroding
the base upon which Brutus's argument is founded. Antony does it artfully
by making his statement conditional by using four words: "if it were so,".
He says if Caesar were ambitious because Brutus has told them so, then he
deserves the punishment for his serious fault. By the last line above,
Antony means that "it was a criminal fault that was criminally dealt with".
[ Answer'd in the line means "atoned for"]

5. HE WAS MY FRIEND , FAITHFUL AND JUST TO ME: BUT BRUTUS SAYS HE WAS
AMBITIOUS; AND BRUTUS IS AN HONOURABLE MAN.
Antony acclaims his friendship with Caesar saying that Caesar was faithful
and fair to him. But according to Brutus Caesar was ambitious and he could
not disagree with Brutus because Brutus was a respectable man. Actually,
Antony wishes the people to call into question the reasoning Brutus had
given them for killing Caesar. He wants to make it clear that he and Brutus
have different views of Caesar even though both claim to be Caesar's close
friends.

6. HERE, UNDER LEAVE OF BRUTUS AND THE REST- FOR BRUTUS IS AN HONOURABLE
MAN; SO ARE THEY ALL, ALL HONOURABLE MEN - COME I TO SPEAK IN CAESAR 'S
FUNERAL.
Antony states that he has come to speak in Caesar's funeral with the
permission of Brutus and all other honourable men. There is great irony in5
the kind words spoken by Antony and what he actually means by speaking
them. There is an element of irony in his words. The repetition of some
words clearly shows Antony's scorn for the conspirators whom he calls all
honourable men.

7. HE HATH BROUGHT MANY CAPTIVES HOME TO ROME WHOSE RANSOMS DID THE
GENERAL COFFERS FILL: DID THIS IN CAESAR SEEM AMBITIOUS?
Antony says that Caesar has brought a lot of prisoners to Rome. The public
treasury of Rome got filled up from the ransom which Rome got for return
of these prisoners to their countries. Antony questions the people whether
 this act of Caesar make him an ambitious person. Antony wants the people
to compare Brutus's logic of being good to Rome by killing Caesar and
Caesar's being good to the Romans by bringing wealth to Rome for the
welfare of all.

8. WHEN THAT THE POOR HAVE CRIED , CAESAR HATH WEPT: AMBITION SHOULD BE
MADE OF STERNER STUFF: YET BRUTUS SAYS HE WAS AMBITIOUS ; A ND BRUTUS IS
AN HONOURABLE MAN.
Antony tries to shatter the reasoning of Brutus to kill Caesar for being
ambitious. He portrays Caesar sympathetically weeping for the plight of the
poor. Caesar must have been pitiless and cruel if he were to be an
ambitious man. However, Antony cannot question the judgement of Brutus
since Brutus was a respectable man. The repetition of the words 'ambitious'
and 'Brutus is an honourable man' are deliberately used to rebuff Brutus's
reason for killing Caesar portraying him as an ambitious person.

9. YOU ALL DID SEE THAT ON THE LUPERCAL I THRICE PRESENTED HIM A KINGLY
CROWN, W HICH HE DID THRICE REFUSE: WAS THIS AMBITION ? Y ET BRUTUS SAYS HE
WAS AMBITIOUS ; A ND, SURE, HE IS AN HONOURABLE MAN .
Antony goes on emotionally touching the heart of the crowd by telling
them that during the festival of Lupercal, Caesar had thrice refused to be
crowned by him. He questions the people whether this was an ambition.
But Brutus says that Caesar was ambitious. He says that he has to agree
with Brutus because Brutus is surely a respectable person. Caesar's refusal
to wear the crown was Antony's best evidence to contradict the speech of
Brutus.

10.I SPEAK NOT TO DISPROVE WHATBRUTUS SPOKE, OF COURSE NOT. FOR ANTONY IS
AN HONOURABLE MAN... BUT HERE I AM TO SPEAK WHAT I DO KNOW .
Antony says that he is not speaking to deny what Brutus has said about
Caesar. Of course, he will not go against Brutus because Brutus is a
respectable man. Antony says that he is speaking his mind about what he
knows of Caesar. În fact, Antony now wants the people to judge whether
 they should believe Brutus or him. From this, one can understand the
contrast between the pathos (emotional appeal) of Antony and the dry
logos (logical appeal) of Brutus.
11.YOU ALL DID LOVE HIM ONCE, NOT WITHOUT CAUSE: WHAT CAUSE WITHHOLDS YOU
THEN , TO MOURN FOR HIM? O JUDGMENT! THOU ART FLED TO BRUTISH BEASTS ,
AND MEN HAVE LOST THEIR REASON. BEAR WITH ME;
Antony tells the people about their love for Caesar for his triumphs and
good deeds. Antony appeals to their conscience and reminds them that if
they had a cause to love him, then they have every reason to lament his
death. Antony takes courage to shame the crowd by telling them they have
listened to the inhuman beings (referring to Brutus and his accomplices)
and have lost their own reason in believing Caesar to be a tyrant in the
making. In fact, Antony creates a setting for a dramatic pause after this.

12.MY HEART IS IN THE COFFIN THERE WITH CAESAR, AND I MUST PAUSE TILL IT COME
BACK TO ME.
Here Antony takes a dramatic pause by telling the crowd that his heart is
going to stay in the coffin with Caesar until it comes back to him. It shows
that Antony is quite overwhelmed by emotion. In fact, Antony takes a
moment to gauge the effect of his appeal on the audience and gives them
some time to let his words sink in. By the time Antony resumes his speech,
he is ready and the crowd is ripe for the shift from persuasion to outright
manipulation.
