“Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot, Take thou what course thou wilt!” — Shakespeare
"Now let it work. Mischief thou art afoot; / Take thou what course thou wilt." Antony says this as the crowd begins to mutiny, personification, apostrophe talking to mischief.
Don't let Antony speak at his funeral. Don't you know how much the people could be affected by what he says? (aside to CASSIUS) By your pardon. ... (speaking so that only CASSIUS can hear) With your permission, I'll stand on the platform first and explain the reason for Caesar's death.
Antony prophesies that civil strife will follow Caesar's death and lead to much destruction. As long as the foul deed of Caesar's death remains unavenged, he predicts, Caesar's spirit will continue to seek revenge, bringing chaos to Rome.
Mark Antony uses the expression 'thou bleeding piece of earth' to refer to Julius Caesar's dead body lying in a pool of blood on the earth. This expression marks the beginning of Mark Antony's funeral speech for his dear friend, Julius Caesar.Feb 25, 2018
