Scene two of act three in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar shows two orators, consisting of Mark Antony and Brutus, giving speeches to a crowd at Caesar’s funeral.

In the end, Antony is victorious. Even though the two speeches have similarities, they also have many differences that made Antony’s speech just that little bit better.
