Marco Antonio’s speech in the work Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, is considered one of the best in literature for its brilliant rhetoric, its emotional manipulation and its mastery in persuading a hostile crowd: without openly contradicting Caesar’s assesinos , Marco Antonio manages to get the pueblo to oppose him. That’s why the solo monologue is a lecture on rhetoric, as well as an example of how Shakespeare deeply understood human nature and social dynamics, which makes him timeless and fascinating.
