The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare: Act 4

Question 3 • CREDIT RECOVERY - ELA 9 - Summer

What is not one of Mark Antony’s true intentions behind his speech?

Answer
A
to start a riot among the Roman people
B
to undermine Brutus
C
to manipulate the people through his use of emotionally persuasive language, tears, and Caesar’s body
D
to befriend and support the conspirators

Explanation

Antony’s speech is designed to turn the crowd against the conspirators and weaken Brutus’s reputation. He uses emotional language, displays Caesar’s wounds, and stirs the people toward unrest. Befriending and supporting the conspirators would contradict these aims, so that is not one of his true intentions.
