Pathos In Julius Caesar

Line act 3 scenes 2 of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, the character Mark Antony delivers to the Roman people a speech that employs a appeal to pathos and diction to show that Caesar was wrongfully killed, and uses metaphor in order to show how the stab wounds of Caesar spoke in pain and treason. Mark Antony uses pathos in his speech by saying “that when the people cried, Caesar also cried.” Mark Antony uses that line to show the people of Rome that he was ambitious and wasn’t a bad ruler. Mark Antony also reminds the Roman crowd that “... They once loved Caesar.” Showing that before the honorable men killed him he wasn’t hated by the majority of the Roman people. Mark Antony also says that “they once loved Caesar as Caesar loved them.”
