Why does Antony befriend Brutus, Cassius, and the other conspirators?
Antony befriends Brutus, Cassius and the others after they assassinate Caesar. Antony immediately realizes that his safety is at stake because he was a friend of Caesar. Anyone with common sense will know not to disagree or interfere with someone who just murdered someone with such political power. Instead, Antony agrees and sort of sides with Brutus and Cassius, so that he will be "safe". However, Antony knows and hopes that those two assassins will face the consequences for their terrible actions.
When is “death” a suitable punishment for “ambition”?
When someone is ambitious, they will literally do everything they can to surpass their goals and accomplish them. In some cases, their ambitions can hurt others, whether it is physically or emotionally. Sometimes, death is a suitable punishment when it involves the death of another; a life for another life. It might be difficult to determine a suitable punishment, depending on how your ambitions affected you or anyone else around you. However, the only time that death should be a "punishment:, is when you physically or emotionally damage another being, which can ultimately lead to the death of that being.
