Explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Julius Caesar" revolves around the story of how Caesar was murdered by Brutus and Cassius, instigated by other conspirators. And after the death of Caesar, Brutus gave the people the chance to listen to mark Antony's speech.

After the death of Caesar, Mark Antony was with the corpse of Caesar along with the people of Rome. When the masses shouted with their want, that Brutus be made the king/ ruler over them, Brutus requested them to listen to Mark Antony's speech and see for themselves what they want to be done. The speech that Antony gave regarding Caesar refutes Brutus' claim that Caesar was overly ambitious. Instead of being over ambitious, Antony pictured Caesar to be a man full of humility, and how he had great love for his people. He also revealed that Caesar had written his will where he called them his "heirs". By presenting the other side of Caesar that was unlike what Brutus had given to the people, Antony changed the perspective of the people. The expected reaction of the people was mutiny, for Antony's speech had changed their perception of what Caesar was and what he seemed to really be.
