Brutus uses Pathos, Ethos, and Logos repeatedly to address his loyalty and to convince the citizens that his actions were justified. By using ethos to prove his honor towards Caesar, empathizing with his friendship, and expressing the tyrant Caesar had become. By using pathos to gain the trust of the citizens, sympathizing with the love the crowd feels towards Caesar, and using questions to make the crowd feel sympathetic towards Brutus which justifies Brutus's actions of murdering Caesar. By using logos to explain why the death of Caesar was necessary, and by using logic to explain how his actions were justified as Antony enters, he uses logic to explain how Caesar's death has benefitted Antony along with the crowd.
ii.83-84), this shows the roman how Brutus does not feel any remorse or sympathy which could raise suspicions of foul play, which would make them listen to romans. Antony's speech becomes more persuasive because of what Brutus said caused the Romans to not trust him. Many times throughout the speech Brutus seems to have no sympathy when saying his speech which shows us that he doesn’t care for Cesar. this will cause the people to have doubt in Brutus. This is one of the many reasons why Antony's speech is more persuasive.
Brutus’s speech had the Romans agreeing with him only for the moment, but Antony’s speech was more sympathetic which had the better
The motivation behind Antony’s actions was completely selfish as he wanted to defend and avenge Caesar, gain power by giving himself credibility as Caesar’s right hand man, and unleash utter chaos in Rome by invoking civil war. Antony’s speech was able to completely reverse the effects that Brutus’ speech had simply because people care more about what agitates their emotions, rather than what logically makes more sense to
Persuasion is a big part of the speeches and there is a lot of jelousy and greed. Greed leads people to jelousy and that is never a good thing to happen. Jelousy can lead people to do things they usually wouldn’t do. Persuasion is used a lot to convince people to believe in what they are saying. Although Brutus used a lot of good reasonings involving pathos, Antony delivers the more effective speech because he knew Caesar more and he was much closer to him
Honestly I think antony did a better job at persuading than brutus did because he used examples from julius’s life and all he did.
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.
Mark Antony’s more persuasive speech In Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, the ruler of Rome, Caesar, was just murdered by secret party in the senate. Brutas, which was one of Caesar's closest companions, is a part of this secret party and he just delivered his speech to the people of Rome explaining why he had to murder Caesar. Mark Antony was not a part of this assignation and he gives a speech right after Brutus’s. Mark Antony is persuading the emotional people of Rome that Caesar was not ambitious like Brutus said.
Antony’s Speech Using Rhetorical Appeals In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, after Caesar’s death, the Romans are conflicted about what should be done. After Brutus’ speech the Romans are ready to crown Brutus king and be on the conspirators’ side. Though Brutus then leaves the crowd while Antony delivers his speech, the crowd realizes what should be done of Caesar’s murder and Antony prevents the conspirators from getting away with the murder of Caesar.
Brutus used logic to persuade the crowd but more specifically he used his own opinion meanwhile Antony used a correlation with of his own opinion as well a the crowd. To him “ He was my [his] friend, faithful and just to [him]” (III.ii.87). Antony provides an intimate experience with Caesar to which the crowd had not been exposed to. The emotion he expresses are with grief and anger. This is evident to the crowd who are taken aback as they see an honorable man crying further persuading the crowd against the conspirators.
n the two speeches that Brutus and Mark Antony wrote in Julius Caesar they both had different understandings on Julius Caesar's death. Brutus seemed to think that Julius Caesar's death was ok and no need to find the murderer, but Mark Antony wanted to find his murderer because he was close to Julius Caesar. All of this and Brutus still saw Julius Caesar as a honorable man, but his death isn't as important as Rome is. In Brutus' speech he shows his devotion is given first to Rome then to his close friends.
Two Compelling Speeches In Shakespeare’s tragedy story, Julius Caesar, Antony’s speech, Antony got more support because he spoke the people’s tone, while Brutus did not because he spoke in an intellect that the people could not understand. The speech given by Antony was more direct to the people compared to Brutus’s. Antony spoke in their words and used rhetoric. In Antony’s speech, Antony supplies himself with items to help persuade the people.
The appeals in Antony’s speech were persuasively better than the use of them in Brutus’s speech. Marc Antony uses all three appeals in his speech to make a very sturdy argument. An example of logos in his speech is when he states, “He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?” This speech is Antony stating facts of Caesar’s work which proves that he is not ambitious and does not deserve to be killed. Antony also uses ethos and pathos when he says, “He was my friend, faithful and just to me.”
Marcus Junius Brutus and Mark Antony both deliver speeches to justify the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE and both use Logos and Ethos to convince the Roman citizens to join their sides. Both sides deliver their speeches with vehemence and start by elucidating why Brutus killed Caesar to begin with, why Antony’s desire for revenge is justified, and what the future of Rome will be because of his death. Antony teases the citizens of Rome with the will of Caesar that he holds in hand and claims it will dishonor Brutus and the other conspirators and is also one of his vital uses of Ethos in his speech. Most of the citizens, if not all of them side with Antony and will most likely help him accede to a great title of power in the future and also betray Brutus because of what Antony has them believe, i.e. an ignoble assassin. Brutus and Antony 's speeches were both compelling, although Antony´s speech was more successful, but it is because he was able to manipulate the people of Rome with
In the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar one of the main characters Caesar is killed in Scene 3 act 2.Then Brutus and Antony both give speeches about how bad they feel. Brutus gives a good speech by using all three of the rhetorical appeals to persuade the crowd to want to listen to what he say by using logos,ethos,pathos to his advantage. Brutus gives a better speech that draws the audience attention,Antony not as much. Therefor here are some very valid points on why Brutus’s speech used the Rhetorical Appeals better.
