In approximately 3 paragraphs summarize the events that took place in Julius Caesar up to Act 3 Scene 2

Brutus gives a speech to the people explaining that even though he loved Caesar, he had to kill him in order to save Rome from his ambition. He then asks if anyone disagrees, and when no one voices an opinion he decides that the people have accepted is explanation.

Antony joins Brutus onstage with Caesar’s body. Brutus accepts him as part of the new government and the crowd cheers. They seem to agree with Brutus. Antony gives his famous speech about burying Caesar rather than praising him. He then, however, goes on to say many good things about the ruler, including stories of his victories in war and his refusals of the crown. Antony begins to cry. He refuses to read Caesar’s will, claiming it would cause problems for Brutus and Cassius. The people begin to accuse the two men of treason, and it becomes clear that Antony is playing them.

Antony changes his tone towards outright criticism. He shows the crowd the wounds in Caesar’s body, reminds them that he loved Brutus, and focuses on the horror of the stabbing. He says he will not convince the people to mutiny, because he doesn’t have the speaking skills. They do mutiny, however, and the scene ends with the news that Brutus and Cassius have fled Rome.
