The Harlem Renaissance began in 1920 as an intellectual, social and artistic explosion in Manhattan in Harlem which is known as the "Great Migration". It was considered as a golden age for African-Americans and their rich cultural heritage which was characterized by music, literature, dance, art, etcetera.
It was important for the Harlem Renaissance to establish a cultural identity for African-Americans at that time because after the Civil War, the blacks were freemen and began to strive for political equality and adequate representation. They were largely successful, as some blacks served in Congress and denounced The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 which also led to the Civil Rights Act in 1875.

William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the assassination of Julius Caesar and the struggle for power that ensued. The play deals with themes of loyalty, greed, power, fate, honor, etc.
In the given monologues from both Antony and Brutus, the two "friends" of Julius Caesar spoke of Brutus and how different they viewed each other. By asking rhetorical questions, Brutus and Antony spoke of the Caesar they know, the person they are proud to call a friend.
