How do Brutus and Cassius respond to Antony’s speech?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Brutus asks Antony not to beg for his own death because they had killed Caesar with a purpose. They are not Antony’s enemies. He offers his arms of friendship to Antony and proclaims him to be their friend. Cassius says that with Antony by their side, he shall be strong like others, and Antony’s words will carry as much credibility as anybody else in the distribution of the new offices and honours.
