How does Anthony show he understands the people better than brutus?

Answer 1

Brutus thinks Caesar is an honorable man. But when he is told that his rise to power will be the downfall of Rome, Brutus decides to plot with the rest of the conspirators and end Caesars reign, and life.

Answer 2

He shows the people Caesar's wounds which makes them emotionally attached to Caesar and appeals to their visionary sense. Then he reads the will which serves as a financial bait and hence, provides the assurance that people will not withdraw later. Also, when he teases the crowd with the will, he makes them curious and the curiosity gets the better of them. They get desperate to hear the will which drives them into turning against the conspirators, even Brutus. When he says that he is no orator like Brutus, he implies that Brutus used trickery to deceive the crowd. His final blow is when he questions the people after reading the will, where they would find another ruler like Caesar. With this question, he indirectly questions the ability of the conspirators ability to rule. On the whole, his emotional outburst and eloquent manner sways the crowd against the conspirators in a powerful manner....

Answer 3

He made two decisions about Antony, he firstly decides not to kill him along with Caesar in fear of being seen as "butchers"; and after the assassination of Caesar, he decides to allow Antony to speak at caesars funeral. which in turn is brutus' ultimate downfall.

Answer 4

Antony had a great mind and was gifted in the art ofmaneuvers Brutus underestimated Antony because hefelthim pleasure loving and unable to take life seriously. He never thought about the Antony who'd manipulated warfare and was a gifted tactician. and perceived him as a person who didn't always take life seriously. He also underestimated Antony's ability as an orator. The speech after Caesar's funeral did more than all other tactics put together to being about the beginning of Brutus' fall.
