Violence & Caesar

I highly agree that violence leads to more violence, because if there is a death of one person whom is very important, others who support him would want revenge to that person, causing more violence. This can be supported because in Act 3 scene 1 the conspirators had killed Caesar at the senate, and then trying to calm everyone down. Later in the book Octavius arrives in Rome, and Antony wants to seek revenge to the conspirators who had fled. In Act 3 scene 2, Antony gives his famous speech to the citizens of Rome, trying to tell them how bad Brutus and the others have stabbed him, and how they should seek revenge. Telling them this, makes more violence, not only to them, but also when Brutus and Cassius find out they want revenge, they are going to gather up their group to fight back, leading to more violence. Antony convinces everyone to get revenge on the conspirators by using whatever needed, especially to Brutus, who was Caesar's trustworthy friend. This is also true in the real world because people would want to get back at others and hurt them as much as they had hurt that person. For example, if you dropped a bomb at some very important place, killing millions, they would come back when you never know and bomb one of your places to get even with you. This leads to more violence, and more destruction. It also would hurt others whom have loved that person so much, who would also end up seeking revenge. So violence leading to more violence is highly agreed.
