Who Reads Caesars Will

The plebeians call the conspirators traitors and demand that Antony read the will. Finally, Antony descends from the pulpit and prepares to read the letter to the people as they stand in a circle around Caesar’s corpse.

Who reads the will in Julius Caesar?

His friend Antony read Caesar’s will to citizens who had turned out to view the corpse, and the mobs became enraged when they heard that Caesar had willed his gardens to the public as a place of recreation and had left money for every Roman citizen.

Why does Anthony not read Caesar's will?

What reason does Antony give for why he cannot read Caesar’s will? Antony says that the will will anger the crowd, and it is not proper to know how Caesar loved his citizens. Antony fears that he has overstepped the boundaries and wronged the conspirators by mentioning the will.
