Answer 1

While Antony pretends to turn the mob away from mutiny and bloodshed, he actually is driving them to mutiny against the conspirators.

Explanation:

Antony repeatedly warns the citizens not to become violent. However, his hints about the will and his display of Caesar’s wounds have the opposite effect. He is deliberately driving the crowd towards mutiny against the conspirators.
