how does antony showed that he understood people more the brustis

Mark Antony instigated the mob by giving an enlightening speech that changed the entire thinking of the audience after Brutus' speech.Antony's speech undermines the conspirators even while it appears deferential to them. Antony uses many rhetorical questions to persuade the people to go against the conspirators and support him and Caesar's goals. He damns the murderers although it appears that he was paying respect. He proved his skill as a rhetorician as well as a politician. He points out various facts which quite clearly portray the fact that Caesar was wrongly accused of being over-ambitious. Caesar brought many captives home, wept at the sorrow of the poor and thrice declined the crown to the kingdom offered by Antony. This entire speech won over the crowd and turned them against the conspirators. When Antony delivered this speech, his words melted with those of Caesar's to rouse the masses against the injustice of the assassination.
