Antony's Summation Of Brutus In Julius Caesar`

The ending, the start, the scenes and acts in 'Julius Caesar' by William Shakespeare consits of 'Brutus, Cassius, Caesar and Antony.' The last lines spoken by Antony may've been the truyth, or there many by another meaning behind what he's actually saying.
'This was the noblest Roman of them all.
All the conspirators save only he,
did that they did in envy of great Caesar.'

'I know no personal cause to spurn at him,
but for the general. he would be crowned.'
After Antony has tried to convince Brutus to form allies with him in order to overthrow Caesar, he thinks best for his country. he doesn't kill Caesar out of jealousy, but of what he consideres is best for Rome, and because he is so easily flattered and fooled, he ceomes one of the conspirators.

As Brutus agrees, seeing the supposedly letteres from the people of Rome, he comes allies with Cassius, As Cassus wanted to swear an resolution (oath) Brutus resfuses, as he believes what their deedsneed, doesn't include an oath, as everyone should truly believe adn trust in their dark ally.

In the speeches after Caesars death, the use of language and the performance was, sounded more personal, usinng many i's and may've pushed or sounded vague. At it's limit that it didn't sound as realistic.
'Dear countryman, lovers...'
he may've known that he hasn't done the correct actons as when he speaks, there may've been a sign of guilt in his tone.

Is Brutus noble? From his rank within society, he could kill Antony and get away with it, though he still thinks that only killing Caesar, would solve all the possible misfortunes for Rome.
'We shall be called purgers, not murderers.'
Brutus is noble and he would be even more sucessful if he hadn't been lead the wrong way from justice. Brutus, in the end is a noble man. A manwho dos what he 'think's' is best for his country, though, not knowing how it's actually going to help rome, or the possiblies that he was being use.
