In my essay, I was able to use pathos, ethos, and logos effectively to interpret the ideas of power and how it affects one’s personal life. I used the technique of logos, by taking the information of Julius Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, and Adolf Hitler as evidence so I could have accurate conclusions. Also with the evidence and the leaders I mentioned in my essay, I stated Ethos, because it related to the idea that my ideas were credible based on my evidence. Ethos was also stated in the in-text citations and quotes, helping to make my essay credible that I got the information from a worthy source. I appealed to emotion with the technique of pathos, by creating sympathy for Brutus’s wife in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.

Luis Arredondo Professor Kinkead Composition I 11 September 2016 Aristotle Summary Aristotle Rhetoric Book I takes a look into the social implications of rhetoric, while describing attributes of rhetoric.

In Act III, Scene 2 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Marc Antony is able to change the mood of the crowd. The commoners transform from a confused, depressed group of people to an angry mob wanting to get back at the conspirators for their despicable action. Antony manages to do so by using ethos, pathos, and logos. These three persuasive techniques all appeal to the audience in a different way. Ethos are phrases that relate to ethics or morals and make oneself sound fair and unbiased.
Nathan Schwartz Mrs. Comm Honors English 10 13 April 2023 Mark Antony (Pathos Ethos Logos) Persuasive Essay In Antony’s deceptive speech to the peasants he establishes his argument by use of ethos that Caesar was, in fact, not ambitious, by explaining Caesar’s empathetic nature he then develops his argument by displaying the contents of Caesar’s will to appeal to pathos, and the peasant’s sense of loss, and ultimately concludes his speech by explaining how the peasants will decide their own fate in an impressive display of logos. Mark Antony, in this way, masterfully disguises a manipulative rally of violence and chaos as a passionate funeral speech, in doing so he turns a crowd of shocked people into a horde of rampaging beasts.
Justified Killing Throughout time, many decisions have been made, some small like where to go to eat dinner, and others big like whether or not you should buy a particular house. However, being every decision is a person who persuaded you to make that decision, whether it be yourself or someone else, some sort of thinking went into the decision. Roy E. Disney once said, “When your values are clear to you making decisions becomes easier.” Brutus and Antony both attempted to make the people of Rome make a decision through their speeches.
This appeals to the Plebeians emotion making them feel as if Brutus’ recognition of Caesar justifies his death. Last, Brutus uses logos to make the Plebeians question if they would “rather Caesar/ were living, and die all slaves, than that Caesar were/ dead, to live all freemen? (III.ii.22-24). This makes the Plebeians believe Brutus’ compassion towards the people made him kill Caesar. It justifies that Brutus only killed Caesar for the greater good of Rome.
They would consider him a bad man because he would have done so many bad things if he were crowned at the ceremony. The conspirators make this plan so that Caesar does not get crowned. They were scared that he would become a dictator, if this were to happen he would have been a harsh and strict as a ruler. The conspirators were all ready to assassinate Caesar because they did not want the horrible dictatorship.
Julius Caesar was one of Rome’s most successful and outstanding leaders. The question of whether or not he deserved to die is very simple. No, Julius Caesar did not deserve to be assassinated for the good of Rome because he was the good of Rome. Politically, militaristically, and economically he benefited Rome. Did the conspirators kill Caesar for the good of Rome or for their own personal motives?
The people in the conspiracy were the only ones that thought he would be crooked and were willing to do something about even if it might people would just create riots. If Caesar was actually crooked he would only make decisions that would benefit him and not the people of Rome. Crooked people will also make decisions that would harm the people and they wouldn’t be able to anything about it. Even if the people figured out that he was crooked it would be too late for them. Brutus and the conspiracy just wanted to make sure Rome wouldn’t go into complete
At the funeral, both of Caesar’s friends, Brutus and Antony, made a speech. In Brutus’s speech he was very concise and was saying that he did it all for Rome. Brutus used logos and ethos in his speech. To fortify his speech, he used logos which is logic and reason. In his speech, he says listen to my reasons and he goes onto his reasons that Caesar would have become ambitious and enslaved them all.
In Brutus’s speech he used ethos and logos to try and control the people of Rome. He was stoic and blinded of what Antony was capable of. He wanted to change their minds about the conspiracy and the murder of Caesar. Brutus says “Had you rather Caesar were living, and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men” (III, i, 23-24).
The conspirators feel no one person should have to much power while the Roman people want their beloved Caesar to rule over them. We should not kill Caesar even though granted illegal citizenship to those who lived in Gaul and over the years has put many of them in the Senate. Caesar may have done this to get new perspectives in the senate-house instead of having the same narrow-minded people all the time ( Baker, 118 ). He made a law saying that it is illegal to wage war without the other party attacking first. Shortly after this, he broke his law in Gaul while serving his proconsul.
