Brutus and Antony both address the same mob just before the funeral of Caesar. However, their content, style and effect are totally different. Brutus, the idealist, bases his speech on cold idealism and tries to justify why they murdered Caesar. On the other hand, Antony is a great orator. He knows that the masses are not swayed by cold logic but by the basic human passions. He uses every art of oratory to prove that Caesar was not ambitious. He succeeds in arousing the passions of the mob and directing its anger against the conspirators.
