Mark Antony (Modernized):
Caesar was a good friend to me; an honorable man. Brutus says that Caesar was ambition, and ambition is the reason for his death. When the poor asked Caesar's help, he was there for them. When he was offered the crown, he turned it down. Was he ambitious? Brutus is an honorable man as well, so I cannot dissagree with him; however I do think that Caesar was ambitious for the right reasons.
Explanation: The aftermath of Caesar's death was one of the most important scenes in the play where Caesar's true intentions were implied, and explained directly. The word "Ambition" was directly used in Antony's speech, when Mark Antony defends Caesar's intentions through this speech.
