Antony (Julius Caesar)

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears."

- The beginning of Antony's speech - his most famous line.

"A curse shall light upon the limbs of men; domestic fury and fierce civil strife shall cumber all the parts of Italy; blood and destruction shall be so in use, and dreadful objects so familiar that mothers shall but smile when they behold their infants quarter'd with the hands of war."

- Antony's descent into villainy.

Mark Antony, commonly referred to as simply Antony, is a minor supporting character in the first act, later the main antagonist in the second act of Shakespeare's 1599 historical tragedy play Julius Caesar.
