After Caesar dies, in Shakespeare's play Julius
Caesar, the people yet again show their fickle nature as they celebrate
Caesar's life. Antony underlines this fickle nature of the people in his funeral speech
for Caeser. So what the people do is decide they need to revenge Caesar's death, which
Antony convinces them can only be done by driving Brutus and his conspirators out of
Rome.
Though the people may have told others and themselves
they were doing this for Caesar, in reality, they did it for themselves. Shakespeare
really goes to great lengths to show how uneducated and reactionary the people of Rome
are.
