Summary
A speech is not a single voice, but a thousand silences.
As Antony delivers his funeral oration over the body of Caesar, the real drama unfolds in the minds of the crowd. From the barber who knew his scalp to the philosopher he bested in debate, from the slave who witnessed his kindness to the woman who sold him lettuce — each listener hears a different Caesar.
Brutus hears only the echo of a hand on his shoulder in the dusk.

Caesar had been watching it for years.
