ANTONY: But Brutus says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honorable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome, Whose rans
oms did the general coffers fill. Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honorable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, And sure he is an honorable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, . . . . Based on Mark Antony’s argument in the above speech, why does he repeat the line, “But Brutus says he was ambitious,/And Brutus is an honorable man”? Mark Antony repeats that line to support Brutus by giving examples that prove that Caesar was ambitious. Mark Antony repeats that line to discredit Brutus by giving examples that prove that Caesar was not ambitious. Mark Antony repeats that line to support Octavius as the rightful heir to Caesar’s position. Mark Antony repeats that line to encourage Brutus in becoming Caesar’s heir.
Mark Antony repeats that line to discredit Brutus by giving examples that prove that Caesar was not ambitious.
Explanation:
In this speech, Antony is pretending to support Brutus. Brutus has just stated that Caesar was too ambitious, and therefore, he was a danger to Rome. Antony repeats the idea that Brutus previously stated ("But Brutus says he was ambitious") and praises Brutus' character ("And Brutus is an honorable man"). Nevertheless, he gives examples of Caesar being kind and humble (crying with the poor, refusing the crown, etc.). Antony is trying to discredit Brutus by giving examples of how humble Caesar was.
