January 29, 2018 The monologue Paraphrase 'O pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, / That I am meek and gentle with these butchers! / Thou art the ruins of the noblest man / That ever lived in the tide of times. / Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood! / Over thy wounds now do I prophesy / (Which like dumb mouths do ope their ruby lips / To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue), / A curse shall light upon the limbs of men; / Domestic fury and fierce civil strife / Shall cumber all the parts of Italy; / Blood and destruction shall be in use, / And dreadful objects so familiar, / That mothers shall but smile when they behold / Their infants quartered with the hands of war, All pity chocked with custom of feel deeds; / And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge, / With Ate by his side come hot from hell, / Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice / Cry "Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war, / That this foul deed shall smell above the earth / With carrion men, groaning for burial" The author has noted that he should be pardoned for having some piece of the earth. This does ruin the noblest person and hence woe to the hand which does shed the most costly form of blood. There is the curse that is believed to be possibly a huge cause for domestic violence all through as such. Anthony, in this case, is apostrophizing to the corpse of Caesar just after he had also been slain plus all of the conspirators had already left as at that time as well. He also seems to be making friends with some conspirators when even in reality he gets to loathe them as such (Caesar, Pp. 21-45). Anthony at the same time also predicts that there is likelihood to have a civil war
