Antony and Brutus were two very different men, who fought for two very different causes but in turn they were very much alike in character. Antony's true character shown through greatly when he walked up upon the body of Brutus. Though one may have been more of a radical while the other more down to earth both fought for what they believed in and did not let anything get in their way. Caesar's will states what he wants for Rome and Antony strives to complete his desired wishes. Brutus and Antony are by far the most noble characters in Julius Caesar. In the beginning Brutus is a loyal follower of Caesar but then is told by Cassius that Caesar is using his power for impure reasons Brutus turns against Caesar. Once Caesar is dead the fate of Rome is up in the air. Antony is joined by Octavius and Lepidus to form the triumvirate. While the triumvirate easily agreed on decisions Brutus and Cassius bickered most of the time but once it got down to begin the war they began to understand each other and united. "A friend should bear his friend's infirmities. Brutus tries to obtain the same status that Caesar had and have the people of Rome believe that Caesar was an impure man. "This was the noblest Roman of them all.
