Using logos to turn the wrongdoing on the conspirators but not saying it straight out, Antony states, “I should do Brutus wrong, and Cassius wrong— who, you all know, are honorable men. I will not do them wrong. I rather choose to wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you”. These lines express the issue in hand about the rules Brutus put in place for Antony to be able to speak at Caesar’s funeral. “Yea, beg a hair of him for memory, and, dying, mention it within their wills”, the line goes along with ethos, pathos, logos.
Antony’s speech was more effective than Brutus’ and many rhetorical devices were used. Both speakers use resources to effectively communicate a message. Brutus starts off the funeral somewhat strong. In the beginning of Brutus’s speech he formally addresses to the people.
Brutus is a person in Julius Caesar that you would not expect to want power. His ways of trying to obtain power are less obvious than other characters. In Julius Caesar, Brutus is a friend of Caesar, but notices that Caesar is acting ambitious like that of a tyrant. Brutus realises that he, himself values the good of Rome more than Caesar. Brutus through the ways of realising danger, being leader, and persuasion tries to gain power in the great empire of Rome.
He was not allowed to speech bad about the conspirators. His goal then was to try and upset the people and turn them against the conspirators. Brutus first addresses the crowd to calm them down drastically and to explain that if Julius became king, the power could have went to his head and became a bad guy. In his speech Brutus uses logos and ethos.
Brutus and Antony speak in Caesar's funeral, they use ethos, pathos, and logos to get their point across. With the use of the pathos, logos, and ethos Brutus gets the attention of the commoners. He asks the commoners if what he is going to say is going to offend them, if it does he asks of them to leave there and they all tell Brutus no. Antony speaks before Brutus and gets his point across but fails at his point and just gets the crowd thinking. Brutus than uses his speech techniques to win over the commoner’s ears to listen to him.
Come I to speak in Caesars' funeral" (act 3 scene 2) this can show that Antony is not above the plebeians, since he had to have permission to speak, he's one of the commoners. He also uses ethos by saying " He was my friend, faithful and just to me." (act3 scene 2) antony says this to make Caesar look like a really good guy, to make sure the commoners know that Caesar was loyal and a good friend to Antony. This also makes Brutus and the rest of the conspirators look like they killed Caesar just to do it, for no good
Brutus lets down his guard and trusts Antony enough to allow Antony to make a speech at Caesar’s funeral. Before Antony speaks at the funeral, Brutus addresses the crowd of Romans by simply explaining his logic behind killing
When Brutus was talking to the conspirators Brutus was going back and forth think if he should help the conspirators kill Julius Caesar. He was going back and forth because he was thinking of the power he could have and could rule Rome. The reason behind Brutus killing Caesar was for the better of Rome. If Brutus would not have killed Caesar, Rome would have turned into a dictatorship, and in turn it would have ruined Rome and all of its people. Brutus did not kill Julius just for the power to rule Rome, he killed Julius to save Rome from Caesar’s dictatorship.
In Act 3 Scene 2 Brutus said during his speech, “If that friend then demands to know why Brutus turned against Caesar, this is my answer: Not because I cared for Caesar less, but because I cared for Rome more”. Brutus had courage to kill Caesar, not because he wanted to, but for the good of Rome and its people. During the entirety of the story, Brutus
Julius Caesar Essay In the play Julius Caesar, written by William Shakespeare, we can analyze the effects that society had on one of the main characters named Brutus and also, the effects Brutus had on society. Society had a big impact on Brutus. Brutus was a very honorable and noble man. This led him into assuming naive views of the world.
Prohibition in 1920s The Prohibition era in the United States, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, saw the ban on the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol in the country. However, this did not stop Americans from finding ways to consume alcohol. The Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, set in the Roaring Twenties, provides a vivid depiction of how people's rebellious behavior during this time period, particularly the wealthy elite who often flaunted the law and engaged in illegal activities towards the Prohibition era is reflected in the book.
When Antony said, “This was the noblest Roman of them all,” referring to Brutus I completely agree with Antony. Brutus was a very noble man he stayed loyal to his friend, Caesar, until his country needed his loyalty the most. “This shall make our purpose necessary, and not envious: which so appearing to the common eye, we shall be called purgers, not murders.” Brutus says in that quote that the purpose for killing Caesar is a necessary thing to do. And soon after it is done the people of Rome will understand and call the healers instead of killers.
Caesar and Brutus have a tragic flaw that causes them to collapse in all directions, and die. However, Brutus fits the definition of a more tragic hero than Caesar. Because of his personality, and his heart, he is a hero, and a good person. He is much better than Caesar. Brutus’ only flaw is innocence, so that he believes in others, it makes him suffer in his heart, and he could not forget for the rest of his life.
III.ii.93–96” Here is where Antony contradicts Brutus’s previous points about Caesar, and takes Brutus’s credibility away by showing them that even an honorable man like Brutus will stab you in the back. The figure of speech that keeps showing up with all these elements and ties them all together to make this funeral speech complete and convincing enough against the conspirators is repetition. Repetition shows up a lot in the speech and helps get into people’s minds that Caesar was a good guy and didn’t deserve to die. Calling Brutus an honorable man repeatedly is hurting his image, because Antony is putting the words honorable man with negative thoughts putting negativity towards Brutus.
Brutus allows Antony to do so, but he wants to speak first at Caesar’s funeral instead of Antony. Antony agrees, and they carry out the funeral. Brutus gives his speech and persuades the people in his favor. However, a critical turning point in the play is Antony’s speech. In the speech, Antony persuades the public
