William Shakespeare was a classicist, and as such is using the crowd in the same manner that the ancient Greek playwright/poets used the 'chorus'. It is to represent the general opinion or concensus, often of people NOT in on the nuances of the central events, and therefore frequently easily led. Just like the masses today, who obtain a diluted, sensationalist summary of events through media which has its own angle and editorial slant, whilst not getting all the facts. Soundbites are the prime example of this.
Hope this helped.

Read, especially, Act 3 scene 3 and how the people, angry with the conspirators, treat Cinna, who wasn't even a conspirator and happened to have the same name as a conspirator. What do they do to him anyway? What does this tell you about people when they get in large groups and get the mob mentality? Also, read the Friends, Romans, Countrymen speech. How do the people generally react?
