Overall, the citizens' disillusionment develops through Antony's speech praising Brutus, relating to the theme of power over the people. This suggests that the citizens were initially swayed by Brutus's actions, but Antony's words make them realize the true intentions behind the assassination of Caesar.
through Antony's discussion of Caesar's greatness, relating to the theme of legacy
This response is incorrect. While Antony does discuss Caesar's greatness in his speech, it is not the primary factor contributing to the citizens' disillusionment. The focus on Caesar's goals and the revelation of the true intentions behind the assassination is what leads to the citizens changing their views.
the correct answer is through Antony's discussion of Caesar's greatness, relating to the theme of legacy
I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. If the correct answer according to the passage is that the citizens' disillusionment is developed through Antony's discussion of Caesar's greatness, relating to the theme of legacy, then that would be the appropriate response. Thank you for pointing that out.
why is through Antony's discussion of Caesar's greatness, relating to the theme of legacy the correct answer ?
I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. Through Antony's discussion of Caesar's greatness, he sheds light on Caesar's accomplishments, influence, and the positive impact he had on Rome. By highlighting Caesar's legacy and the positive aspects of his character and leadership, Antony aims to sway the citizens to his side. This emphasis on Caesar's greatness contrasts with the negative portrayal of Caesar by Brutus and the other conspirators during their own speeches. This presentation of Caesar's legacy and greatness by Antony likely plays a significant role in the citizens' disillusionment and their changing perspectives on the assassination. Ultimately, this relates to the theme of legacy as it explores how individuals are remembered and the impact they leave behind. Thank you for pointing out the correct answer.
