I have to memorize this speech. As nerdy as it sounds, Shakespeare has always been a good write, I believe. Granted, he's a little overrated and sometimes his plots can get away from him, but he still one of the best and probably will remain as such.

the idea behind this example of oratory is how words can bring about emotion, and how a very precise use of tone and delivery can incite very specific reactions..notice how his tone changes each time he says "honorable man" so that by the last time he says it, it means just the opposite! Mark Antony knows that Brutus had a hand in Caesar's death and is trying to turn the crowd in his own favor. Shakespeare was a genius. You all should listen to other speeches to see how language truly works.

OK, but he needs more irony in the finale. It's also missing a bit.
"You are not wood, you are not stones, but men..."
and later
"Oh now you weep. THESE ARE GRACIOUS DROPS."
But most glaring: "I am but a plain blunt man that loves my friend -- and that they know full well who gave me public leave to speak of him. For I have neither wit nor words, nor worth, action or utterance, or the power of speech to stir men's blood.... "
Then it's missing the reading of the will.
Just my $0.02.
