"Read the Will!"


I chose this item in relation to Antony because he uses this against the citizens of Rome to persuade them that Caesar truly cared for Rome and its people. In Act 3 Scene 2, Mark Antony explains how the citizens should not go against Caesar, but to thank for him what he had done for them. Something so small and simple could make an impact on a group of people. Whether it's true or not, Antony uses the will that was written by Caesar, to make a big impact on the citizens of Rome using persuasion. He does this so effectively because even though he didn't read the will, it easily convinced the citizens to think that Caesar actually did some good to them before he died.
