Marcus Antonius



Marcus Antonious, better known as Marc Antony, in the play by William Shakespeare "Julius Caesar", is shown to be Caesar's right-hand man as well as Brutus' character foil. We know this because at the begining of Scene 2, Antony replies to a request man by Caesar, saying " I shall remember: When Caesar says "Do this", it is preformed", this shows Antony is loyal to Caesar. And we know he is the character foil to Brutus when he says " I am not gamesome: I lack some part Of that quick spirit that is Antony". But Antony is also very naive, when Caesar voices his concern of Cassius, Antony tells Caesar not to worry that Cassius is a honorable man of Rome.
