How anthony turned the crown around from brutus' speech I start with Brutus has just left Anthony alone to start his speech and had asked the crowd to stay and listen to him. If Brutus hadn’t of asked the crowd to stay I don’t think anybody would have listened to Anthony and would of all gone of down the road praising Brutus. Letting Anthony make his speech second was a very foolish thing to do as most people remember the second thing people say over the first, that was his first mistake. His second was leaving Anthony to make his speech unaccompanied and as Brutus hadn’t checked Anthony's speech would not know what he was going to say. Anthon
