Octavius and Mark Antony's conflict shows the breakdown of their strong friendship; Brutus and Cassius' conflict shows their similar values and how that can strengthen the Republic's ideal of friendship.
Explanation:
In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," after Caesar is assassinated and Rome is left without a leader, the protagonist's adopted son Octavius and Mark Antony's relationship becomes tense during the fight with Brutus and Cassius' army. On the other hand, Brutus and Cassius' friendship becomes stronger in battle, with Brutus exhibiting great unhappiness due to his friend's death.
