Help me please on Julius Caesar?

Question

Antony points to Caesar's wounds and states who caused each one. How do you know he is making it up?

Answer 1

We know he was making it up because Mark Antony was not at the meeting of the Senate in which Julius Caesar was murdered. He had been called out to discus some matter by one of the conspiritors. This was a ploy to keep Antony away from Caesar so he would have no protection.

When Antony pointed to the wounds and named people it was after the event when the conspiritors were know. Of course Antony, not being there, did not know which precise wounds were caused by which precise conspiritors. His words were metaphorical for the speech. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

You’re describing Shakespeare’s play, correct? In the play (as in life, presumably), Antony wasn’t present at the assassination (else he’d be dead, too).

Answer 3

I dont think he was trying to make it up. He saw the murder. He just tried to convince the senate at the funeral to rally against brutus and the other followers.
