The turning point of the play and Brutus' major tragic flaw concerns his judgment of Mark Antony. Brutus perceives Antony as "gamesome" and harmless without Caesar while Cassius sees Antony as a "shrewd contriver." When the other conspirators want to kill Antony along with Caesar, Brutus declares, "For Antony is but a limb of Caesar. Let's be sacrificers, but not butchers." Brutus wants to be honorable which leads to the conspiracy's destruction. Another one of his mistakes is allowing Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral. Brutus sees no harm in allowing Antony to speak after he has already spoken. Antony effectively arouses the crowd's emotions with Caesar's body and will. His final fatal errors are meeting Antony's and Octavius' army at Philippi and the mistiming of his army's attack, an event which jeopardizes his armies.

Brutus continues his misjudgment when he reads the bogus letters and believes that these express the true feelings of all of Rome. T
