Everytime Antony described Brutus as “honourable” he would use an increasingly sarcastic tone, until the last time in the speech, it was felt as if the meaning was changed. The last time Antony calls Brutus honourable, the speech hugely impacts the crowd to changing the mindset of Brutus’s, which is that Caesar was killed for the better of Rome, to the mindset that Brutus and the rest…
