What happens after Mark speech at Julius funeral in William Caesar?

In William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Mark Atony delivers a famous speech at Caesar's funeral, but the character Brutus, not Mark, performs it. After Brutus's speech, Mark Antony responds by giving his own speech and inciting the Roman people against the conspirators who assassinated Julius Caesar.

During his speech, Mark Antony skillfully manipulates the crowd by appealing to their emotions, and uses various rhetorical devices, including repetition, to emphasize his points. He skillfully turns the crowd's anger toward the conspirators, particularly Brutus and Cassius. As a result of Antony's speech, the Roman people become swayed and turn against the conspirators.

As the play unfolds, this shift in public opinion plays a crucial role in the downfall of Brutus and Cassius. They realize that they have underestimated Mark Antony's intelligence and persuasive abilities. Ultimately, Brutus and Cassius are defeated in battle and die.
