Comparing Ceasar And Ceasar In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar
Brutus does a speech about how Ceasar was a coward and a bad person because he wanted the crown. But mark antony gave his speech about how ceasar was a good friend and a great ruler. Brutus does not like Ceasar in the first place before everyone wanted to give him the crown so he probably would have killed him and had a conspiracy either way. while Mark antony really liked ceasar. The way Brutus came out with his speech is that he told the crowd that Ceasar deserved what he got. Mark Antony on the other hand blamed Brutus and his followers for murdering a great man and told

    Mark Antony speech was more effective because he reminded the plebeians that Julius Caesar was not ambitious due to that fact he rejected the crown three times. Brutus tells the plebeians the reasoning behind why he were to kill Caesar - that if he were not to kill Caesar, then everyone would die as slaves. Then he said “But, as he was ambitious, I slew him. “(III,ii, 28). In other words, Brutus says the reasoning behind why he killed Caesar was due to the fact that Caesar was ambitious. However, when Mark Antony…

    Julius Caesar's Funeral Rhetorical Analysis

    In the eulogy at Caesar’s funeral, Marc Antony, close friend of Caesar and general, seems to claim that he believes that Marcus Brutus and the rest of the men involved with the death of Caesar are honorable men, but in actuality believes that Caesar was the only honorable man in the Senate who was always there for his country and brought prosperity to his country. He also claims to not want to get revenge on the murderers of Caesar, but in reality, the whole point of his speech was to turn the citizens of Rome against Brutus so that Caesar’s death will be avenged. He develops this claim by first creating ethos and pathos refuting Brutus’ excuse that Caesar was ambitious. Then, he emphasizes the grand betrayal of Brutus towards Caesar. Towards…

    How Does Antony Use Ethos In Julius Caesar

    Firstly, both of them used ethos in their speeches. Brutus was only able to persuade the people by implying them to believe that Caesar was too ambitious just because he said so, whereas Antony had actual reasons to be believable. "Believe me for my honor and have respect to mine honor that you may believe... not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more"(pg126:III:ii). Brutus, for a short while, convinced the crowd that Caesar was too ambitious and if he did not kill him, everyone would be slaves. "The noble Brutus told you that Caesar was ambitious...He hath brought many captives home to Rome, whose ransoms did the general coffers fill... yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man" (132,134: III: ii). Antony additionally mentions that he knows Caesar wept when the poor wept and…

    The Senators Swansong

    Brutus and Antony go in different directions when it comes to ethos. Brutus gets on the stage and says, “Believe me for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that you might believe me” (III.i.14-15). He is telling the crowd to believe him based on his honor, and while they are judging what he has done, remember how honorable he is. His approach is formal and almost condescending. He is on the stage and he knows he has accomplished more admirable deeds than his audience which merits him honor. But, highlighting this sets him above his audience. Antony however comes up and says, “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears” (III.i.60). This opening is similar to Brutus’ except for one key word, friends. This automatically changes the entire tone of the speech. Now, Antony approaches the crowd on the same level as them, as equals. He is no better, no worse. He is a citizen of Rome, just like them.…

    Mark Antony Rhetorical Analysis

    Mark Antony deftly speaks to his audience in a way that requires them to challenge their preconceived characterizations of Brutus and Cassius. He intentionally expresses the deliberate opposite of what he genuinely wishes and excessively compliments the people to the point that they forget their own seemingly unwavering convictions. His finesse and dexterity in bending words and minds ultimately works to his favor. Antony accomplishes his initial goal to convince the Roman people to revenge Caesar’s demise. This achievement in and of itself exhibits…

    Julius Caesar Rhetorical Analysis

    In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Decius Brutus and Mark Antony, both Roman Senators, eulogize Julius Caesar, each using a different technique and approach. Brutus, in a somewhat arrogant, to the point, eulogy, attempts to sway the people. He justifies conspiring against Caesar by stating that Caesar's ambition would have hurt Rome. However, in Antony's eulogy, he focuses on Caesar's positive traits, and cunningly disproves Brutus' justification for killing Caesar. The fickle Romans waver between leaders, responding emotionally, rather than intellectually, to the orators.<br><br>Brutus seeks to explain why he conspired against Caesar. He begins his speech with "Romans, countrymen ...", appealing to their consciousness as citizens of Rome, who,…

    Everything that was said by Brutus was completely blown away by what Antony says even though he never said anything bad about Brutus.

    Brutus's Tragic Flaw Essay

    He misjudged Antony’s loyalty to Caesar and to Rome, calling him “but a limb of Caesar,” (Act II. Sc. I). Because of his altered perception in judgment, Brutus thought that every leader in Rome was as noble as him, acting for the good of the republic, which wasn’t entirely the case. Brutus was easily convinced that Mark Antony had joined the conspirators’ side after the death of Caesar and was unable to see through his false promises. Brutus never thought that the death of Caesar would provoke such a reaction from Antony because he assumed that every politician in Rome held clear distinctions between their private and public lives, concerning their duties in…

    Brutus And Antony's Speech Comparison

    The overlook of Brutus’s and Antony’s speeches are not similar at all in my eyes. Brutus’s speech was trying to show the citizens that there was no harm in killing Julius Caesar, which there was. Brutus partially manipulates the citizens by saying how much he really loved Caesar, but loved the city of Rome even more. The citizens were moved by his speech because of how protected they felt by his words. Brutus talks good of Caesar, saying how there are tears for his love, joy for his fortune, honor for his bravery, but then death for his ambition. He shows the crowd how it was for the better of them. On the other hand, Antony’s speech rowled up the citizens more than they were passionate about Brutus’s speech. Antony put more of an emotion in his speech to the people. He showed how incredible of a man Caesar was and even showed proof of his will. Obviously the crowd easily changed their opinions about the whole situation and Antony knew just what to say and do. Antony was calm about the whole speech even when the crowd was begging for him to read Caesar’s will. Antony blamed Caesar's murder…

    rhetorical appeals

    Mark Antony used the three persuasion tools to turn the roman crowd against Brutus. The most convincing use of ethos in Antony’s speech is in the first line of the speech; “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!” This shows that Mark Antony is trying to get in to the Roman crowd’s hearts. He uses rhetorical irony throughout the speech constantly questioning the ethos of Brutus. “When that the poor cried, Caesar hath wept; ambition should be made of sterner stuff: yet Brutus is an honorable man.” Mark Antony repeats the phrase “yet Brutus is an honorable man” then he says logical statement that proofs Caesar did nothing wrong. Which led the crowd to turn on Brutus, without Antony actually saying that what Brutus did was wrong. Mark Antony uses a lot of facts throughout the course of his speech. One of the key facts in his initial speech is; “When that the poor…

    Rhetorical Analysis

    By depicting Brutus’ speech he starts to create doubt and begin to inquire about the logic behind Antony argument against the conspirators. Once he had aroused this feeling of doubt in the plebeians Antony was able to continue with his argument with much more strength and confidence. A point extremely important in Antony's eulogy is persuading the crowd to view Caesar not as a the ambitious man Brutus made him out to be. The evidence that Antony gave the crowd which persuaded them into believing that Caesar was not indeed ambitious, was that "He hath brought many captives home to Rome, / Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill/.. I thrice presented him.a kingly crown/ Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?/ Yet Brutus says he…

    Mark Antony's Ethos In Julius Caesar

    Mark Antony appeals to the crowd's sense of ethos to establish himself in their eyes as a noble man, and to surreptitiously separate the conspirators' from their lofty reputations. Specifically, Antony mentions that he has the power to "do Brutus wrong and Cassius wrong, who, you know, are honourable men", but he "will not do them wrong: [he] rather choose[s] to wrong the dead, to wrong [himself] and [the people], than [he] will wrong such honourable men" (). Antony says that though he could, it wouldn’t be right to speak against the conspirators, and he would rather take the blow of Caesar's death himself. The repetition of the words "wrong" and "honourable" places emphasis on the killers' reputation, and sheds light on how Antony has respect…

    Brutus Persuasion

    It's just that Antony was better at manipulating the crowd to think the way he did. Brutus gave his speech well. He told them that the reason he killed Caesar was for Rome. For an example in Act III, Sc. 2 Brutus says “ If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” (ln. 18-20) This means that killing Caesar was greater than their friendship and saving the people was more important. Another point Brutus got across was that the people of Rome can still respect Caesar even after Brutus had killed him. This made him sound more like a respectful leader and less of an evil murderer. Like in Act III, Sc. II Brutus says “Do grace to Caesar’s corpse, grace his speech tending to Caesar’s glories which Mark Antony, by our permission, is allowed to make.” (ln. 52-54) This is Brutus telling the crowd that they can respect Caesar and still look up to him. Another thing that made Brutus's speech well put together is that he gave the crowd a chance to speak up about the situation. For an example in Act III, Sc.II Brutus says “ If any, speak, for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.” (ln. 29-30) This shows that Brutus isn't afraid to talk to anyone who doesn't agree or have any question to why he killed…
