Julius Caesars greatest supporter During the early ages areas around the world, especially in Rome, it was not uncommon for people to honour a person of a higher class of society. In the play Julius Caesar written by Shakespeare, Antony and Caesars relationship was well documented. Their relationship displayed how noble some Romans were to the people that were higher class. Throughout the whole play Antony was a great supporter of Caesar, as a friend and as a man of power. Antony portrays how loyal he was to Caesar by the measures he took to serve him. Every action that Caesar made had a great influence and impact on Antony's life because he was always there to support his thoughts. Antony never turned against Caesar, he was notably obedient to him throughout the whole play even when Caesar died. Antony portrays how loyal he was to Caesar by the way he acted upon Caesars demands. He listened very precisely to the words asked of him and never once in the whole play did Antony disobey what Caesar ordered. Antony appears to be Caesars servant because he takes on the roll a servant should even though he is not. At times he would call him "Caesar, my lord?" (1.2.5). Even when Caesar was not asking him to do something for him he was still very loyal at heart . After Caesar was assassinated Antony again shows his loyalty, and asks if he is to be killed, he would like to be killed by the side of the noble Caesar. "...If I myself, there is no hour so fit/As Caesar's death's hour"(3.1.153-154) "...No place will please me so, no mean of death,/As here by Caesar,"(3.1.161-162). This shows that he holds Caesar as a very noble man, and that he loved him. Since Antony was not killed he fought for what is right and aimed to get revenge on the conspirators. He did what Caesar would believe was best for Rome. By doing that he was showing that he is loyal all the time and he always will be, for as long as he lives. Every move that Caesar made
