In my opinion, I found Antony’s speech better
Both Julius Caesar and Abraham Lincoln were very influential people of their time. They were both in power of a nation. To this day each man is still considered a respected leader by people around the world.…
Protagonists keep the plot of a story going, they are the ones we cling to and hope to see win in the end or die trying. In the outstanding play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, many characters play a very important role while many others are there simply to die. But the question still remains. Who exactly is the main character? Julius Caesar or noble Brutus? Both show the great acts of a protagonist, along with being the main eye throughout the story which would prove them to be the best choice for the role. They both flow through the story like hot butter, but not all butter lands on toast.…
From what I observed in the speeches, Anthony is the more persuasive speaker. Anthony used ethos, pathos, and logos in his speech while Brutus only used pathos and logos, Anthony also connected with the crowd showing he had the same emotions as them while Brutus only challenged the crowd. Ethos is a persuasive speech tactic that speakers use when persuading the audience by using ethics. It focuses on the ethics of either the speaker or the audience.…
Julius Caesar and Abraham Lincoln are two of history greatest leaders, to compare them in their similarity and differences in my opinion would a simple task to do. In comparing them, they both were assassinated in office, killed at the theatre, was great leaders, had power, authority, and was in the military. These two great leaders died at the young age of 56, and impacted history with change, which ultimately got them assassinated. President Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States of American and he believed in equality for all people, and Caesar was Robin Hood, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. They had many enemies, they fought wars on the battlefield as well in their political arena.…
Abraham Lincoln and Julius Caesar were two great leaders in history. They became very powerful throughout their political reign. Although very different men, they were similar in many ways and certainly linked together upon their death.…
Both Tiberius Gracchus and Julius Caesar were roman politicians that support oppressed people and being loved by most of the population. They were powerful and strong and wanted a huge role in their community. Their greediness led to their death by their enemies.…
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…
Both speeches are very reluctant and have a persuasive passion about each topic. Moreover, Brutus's speech is more eloquent than Antony's speech considering it talks about Caesar's honor and his wisdom. Both essays start off with "Romans, countrymen..." (III.ii.13) (III.ii.72) Antony's speech talks more about burying Caesar, instead of praising him like Brutus's speech. Which is why Brutus's speech is more persuasive than Antony's speech because Brutus talks about only great things about Caesar and uplifts his spirit, unlike Antony who downgrades on…
Does Marcus Brutus like Caesar? What does Brutus think of Caesar’s rise to power? .…
On the other hand, Anthony's speech was not as subjective and serious as Brutus presented. Anthony displays a sly tone when he talks about Caesar. When Anthony says, "I came to bury Caesar not praise him" he is creating a realistic tone for the citizens. Anthony was much calmer in his speech than Brutus was when he stated evident facts. Whereas, Brutus wanted to persuade the citizens. Anthony did not portray a lot of emotions in his speech because he mainly focused on facts. However, Anthony did not really say a lot about the killing. Anthony was very fond of Caesar but not enough to grieve heavily for him. There are in fact keen differences between Brutus and Anthony's speeches. Brutus had plenty more emotions than Anthony. Also, Anthony's speech was not to gain sympathy like Brutus' speech was. The reoccurring commas in Anthony's speech helped establish pauses that created his tranquil yet logic diction. One can believe that Anthony had a more unprepared speech than Brutus because he paused after all the comments from the audience. Between both speeches, there was not a single use of Allusion used. It is evident that the main focus was on the diction and punctuation in the…
Sometimes, Brutus’s speech is considered to be the better of the two speeches. Yes, Brutus does use a lot of pathos to move the crowd. But Brutus doesn’t use a lot of other aids like ethos and pathos. Antony uses pathos, ethos, and even some logos to appeal to the crowd.…
As Brutus says that he would do anything for the good of all Romans that is a similarity between Cassius and Brutus because Brutus says he would do anything to protect Rome but when Cassius outsmarts him and uses him to kill caesar, that is a difference. Cassius thoughts of killing Caesar are lead because he is ambitious and wants the power or more than Caesar had. He was also Envy of Ceasar and of all the respect he had from the people. "Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world/Like a Colossus, and we petty men/Walk under his huge legs and peep about/To find ourselves dishonorable graves.." (I,ii,135-137) Meanwhile, on the other hand Brutus wants the best for Romans so he decides to join the group that is planning to kill Casear but for…
Antony's funeral speech was much more effective because his use of nnsmsnsnmsmsmdmd ndmkdmd mxdm mxmmd. Mmcmcmmmd mcmmdmc mxmxmmc ckkckxmmd kfdlmmdm mddlmc k. Jdjdn nsnnnd nndndn jdmxm nxnmxn .

This passage, Julius Caesar, is written by William Shakespeare. This is a play based on a historical event led by the tragedy of the Roman leader ,Caesar, who was killed by his disloyal friends. Within this passage, Brutus and a group of conspirators gathered together upon the action to betrayal Caesar and take over the city Rome. In addition, they all believed that Caesar did not deserve the throne and they had to destroy him. At Caesar’s funeral both Brutus and Antony created heartfelt speeches in order to persuade the flustered citizens of Rome. However, I can conclude that the logos, pathos, and ethos in Antony's speech was much more persuadable than Brutus's unfavorable speech.…
It is often argued that Antony has the better speech. It is true that Antony did a good job persuading the crowd to go on a rampage. However, Antony is in the wrong, Antony shouldn’t be riling up the crowd to go on a rampage. He should be gathering them as one and uniting them in this time of peril. Brutus had the better speech because he did was right.…
Everything that was said by Brutus was completely blown away by what Antony says even though he never said anything bad about Brutus. Brutus and Antony are both very good at ethos, pathos and logos, but with the length and persistence of Antony, he won the crowd. By the end of the speech the people of Rome wanted to kill everyone that was in the conspiracy including…
