This is an essay question. I don't want to plagiarize you but I'd like to get a gist for what I'm supposed to be saying because I don't really get it. Please don't just write something so that you can take my points. I really need help. At Caesar’s funeral, Anthony refers to Brutus as a nobleman. Even after conspiring to kill Caesar and going to war, and taking his own life, Antony says Brutus was the "noblest Roman of them all''. Explain the irony and purpose of this characterization.
