Antony avers how the crowd "did love" Caesar for a reason: he loved them just as much, if not more. This bond between Caesar and the people displays a deep relationship, where ambition is laughed upon in such love. The opinionated Brutus "told" of deep ambition within Caesar, but his opinion is jaded because Antony unveils how Caesar fervently loved his people, without any thought of seizing power over them. Brutus" opinion is substantially insufficient when compared to the unquestionable veracity Antony reveals.
Antony's phrasing further suggests that Brutus is incorrect. He utilizes numerous conjunctions that signal an opposite meaning. Antony claims he does not want to disparage Brutus" words, "but" he wants to speak only of what he knows is the truth. He is clearly contradicting his proclamation not to disprove Brutus, because the use of the word "but" insinuates that he feels Brutus is wrong. Antony goes on to explain that "if" Caesar was ambitious, then he was at fault and Brutus is right. Truthfully, Antony is implying that Caesar was never at fault because he recollects Caesar's benevolent qualities which oppose Brutus" regards of Caesar as ambitious. An ambitious ruler is not a faithful friend, and does not cry for his people or bring riches for the community, therefore Caesar is not ambitious. Antony does not think Caesar had a drop of ill intention in his blood .

Antony also disproves Brutus and urges the crowd to mutiny by asking rhetorical questions that imply a negative answer. Caesar brought riches to share with his people, leading Antony to query "Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?" Brutus" error is that he has taken money from people that are already poor.
