From the novel; Julius Ceasar
The combined reactions of the plebeians after the separate speeches of Brutus and Antony show that the common man as portrayed in Julius Caesar
- is knowledgeable, has a mind of his own, and is reable
-
is fickle-minded, changeable and not dependable
- consider Caesar a tyrant and wants him killed
- does not consider Caesar an over- ambitious man deserving death
- is actually unconcerned whether Caesar dies or lives
