In the beginning of the sililoquy antony is begging for caesar’s forgiveness “O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, that I am meek and gentle with these butchers!” Antony is using a smokescreen to make the conspirators think that he is not after them. Earlier on the play antony shook hands with the conspirators and he rubbed his hand with caesar’s blood. This could confuse the conspirators which is exactly what antony wants. However antony feels that is not only the conspirators foult that caesar is dead is the whole of Italy including him. This is why at the beginnig of the sililoquy he is begging for forgiveness. He feels that he has to do something to revenge caesar – to kill the conspirators. In my opinion antony is going to take a big role in the play. I think he is going to make them kill themselves. And when they are all dead he will do the same they did to caesar when they killed him which is to wash their hands with his blood to show italy who killed the leader. Antony could be italy’s new leader. Maybe he is the perfect person to replace caesar. And to take italy through the right path.
