Mark Antony:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him;
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interréd with their bones,
So let it be with Caesar…. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answered it….
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest,
(For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all; all honourable men)
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral….
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man….
He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?
O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason…. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
高人指点一下。

恺撒也许是个独裁者,但不是暴君,至于布鲁图,如同所有被鼓惑的人一样成为一个极端共和派。。。

布鲁图死时安东尼把紫色袍子披在了他身上,是非常尊敬他的。
凯撒大概也像曹操一样,不称王,愿为文王,结果成就了屋大维。

曹操也是的嘛。。
凯撒毕竟没有屋大维那么“明目张胆”。。。

凯撒还得顾忌到反对势力。曹操嘛,胁天子以令诸侯。。。。。。

增加背景知识:这段演讲也出现在莎士比亚大师的《尤里斯。凯撒》中。第三场第二回。

可以这么认为。不过我觉得凯撒的独裁和皇帝的称帝有相似之处。。。。。。
