"Friends, Romans, Countrymen…” | Great Performances: Julius Caesar
Analyze Mark Antony’s famous “Friends, Romans, Countrymen” speech using two videos from Great Performances: Julius Caesar. This resource works best after students have read Act III, sc. 2, to ensure they are already familiar with Antony’s speech. Support materials engage students with contemporary connections through discussion questions, teaching tips, and handouts that ask them to think critically about persuasive language and Mark Antony’s motivations.
