Final answer:

In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, Brutus and Cassius have different reactions to Antony's speech at Caesar's funeral.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, after Caesar's assassination, Antony delivers a speech at Caesar's funeral. Brutus and Cassius, who were part of the conspiracy to kill Caesar, have different reactions to Antony's speech.

Brutus believes that Antony's speech will not incite the citizens of Rome, so he allows Antony to have the opportunity to speak. However, he underestimates Antony's persuasive abilities. Cassius, on the other hand, is skeptical of Antony and warns Brutus not to trust him. Cassius fears that Antony's speech will turn the people against the conspirators.
