769 Words | 4 Pages

Brutus had a good argument about Caesar being ambitious and a honorable men but it still wasn’t persuasive enough. The reason why it wasn’t a good enough argument is because Brutus only cared about himself when he was telling the speech and he never gave much detail about Caesar and it just didn’t tell us much about Caesar.

Why Antony’s Eulogy Was Superior to Brutus’ Speech In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Antony’s speech is more effective than Brutus’s because Antony utilizes emotions in order to stir up the people and start a riot and speaks in a way that the people can understand, whereas Brutus talks above the people, using prose like the nobility used, and uses ethic and logic to reason with the people why killing Caesar was justified.

Julius Caesar Persuasive Essay

849 Words | 4 Pages

I just believe that’s why Antony over all had the best and most affective speech. Brutus seems very bossy and demanding and doesn’t let the audience state their opinion, on what they thought of Caesar, Antony waits for the audience to stop talking then he begins, and the pauses to have room for the audience to speak. A citizen really understood what Antony was saying and was more direct,” Methinks there is much reason in his sayings” Four citizens spoke out during this time, Antony gave them time to express what they felt and thought. It proves that Antony gave the citizens of Rome to express themselves and say what they think about Caesars passing, Brutus gave very little time for the citizens to express themselves. Antony wants to hear the people of Rome’s opinion so that he knows what to clarify, and when the citizens ask him something he gives them the answer.

Brutus delivers his speech in a laudatory manner by conveying Caesar’s deeds and claiming he was ambitious, although Antony contradicts Brutus’ claims and says Caesar spurned the crown with the intent to merely rule as a de facto dictator. Brutus’ speech reveals his motives were truly for the benefit of Rome given his nationalistic tone and Antony’s speech was merely used to obscure his true motives, which was to embroil Rome in a series of civil wars to attain power. Brutus and Antony’s speeches consisted predominantly of Pathos and Ethos, but it is Antony who ultimately it is Antony who prevails because of his almost disingenuous attitude and even use of Logos which is seen when claims that reading Caesar’s will would dishonor his compeers and even Caesar
