Giving back to the community is no reason to be slain. Anthony then tells the crowd that "when the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition is made of sterner stuff." (lines 91-92) He now tells the people that, Caesar, a great and powerful Roman, is saddened just because the poor people are sad. A truly ambitious person would not be concerned about the emotions of mere plebeians. Another example Antony gave of Caesar's benevolence is when he informs the mob of something they "all did see" (line 95) when Antony "thrice presented him a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse" (lines 96-97). This is a good example because everyone saw this and it disproves what Brutus says about Caesar being overly ambitious. When he is offered the title of King and power of the crown he refused it, not once, but three times. Antony has now drawn a vivid picture for his audience that he was not pretentious as Brutus says, but a passionate, devoted, servant of Rome.
During Antony's funeral eulogy he also uses conjunctions that signal the opposite meaning and rhetorical questions that implied a negative answer. After Antony gave an example proving that Caesar was not ambitious, he would always add, "Yet, Brutus says he was ambitious" (lines 93, 98). Antony says this several times, originally meaning that he must be the one at fault, even though he has "proof". But as his speech continues it comes to mean that both Brutus and his belief in Caesar's ambition must be wrong. In addition to cunning use of conjunctions, he also would also ask the crowd questions, carefully phrasing it so that it would always entail a negative answer. After Antony tells the crowd that Caesar has had the opportunity to make money, but choose instead to give it to the people; he then asks the crowd "Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?" (line 90). This was only Antony's first example so he uses "seem" when he asks the question.
