Mark Antony

Early in the play, mark anthony getts described as “ But a limb of Caesar”

character by driving the plot forward.
He later forms an alliance with Octavious Caesar, Julius Caesar’s adopted son
and the next in line to his fathers power, and with a combination of
disagreements between the conspirators and biliant military strategy by
