Cicero scene

For much of the speech, Cicero gives examples of unacceptable behavior. Pick one of these examples (any example) and explain why you think it is included. Why is it so unacceptable/what rhetorical work is it doing for Cicero?   Look carefully at paragraphs 44–46 (Antony’s affair with Curio). There are several things you can do with this from the perspective of a short paper: you can analyze the scene and how Cicero uses it to stir up his audience. You can use it to look back to the sham marriage in the Casina etc. Based on what you see in the speech, would Antony and Catullus be friends? Why/Why not? Use simple language.
