Marcus Antonius aka Marc Antony, in the play Julius Caesar, is the most loyal person to Caesar. He is like Caesar's right hand man. We see his loyalty to Caesar during Act One, Scene 2 where he is getting ready for a race and Caesar orders him to touch Calphurnia when he is running so she can be fertile and bore a child. In lines 9-10 of this act and scene Antony says "I shall remember: When Caesar says "Do this," it is performed." after Caesar gives him the commands to touch Calphurnia.Another character trait Marc Antony has is that he is naive and he is still blossoming or he has much to learn. This shows during the same act and same scene but from lines 196-197. He was with Caesar and the other senators having conversations about things. During this time, Caesar tells Antony about how he believes Cassius is dangerous but Antony kinds of defends Cassius and says Cassius is not dangerous and he is a noble Roman who supports Caesar. Antony says this in lines 196-197, "Fear him not, Caesar, he's not dangerous; He is a noble Roman, and well given." unlike Caesar who has a clairvoyant trait of determining how people are on their looks, Marc Antony can not do that like Caesar and he believes that Cassius is loyal to Caesar even if the readers and audience knows very well that Cassius is not loyal to Caesar and he wishes that Caesar would not be crowned emperor. There is not much about Antony so far in the play that we have read but eventually as the play continues, more of Marc Antony's traits and personalities will be shown.
