(3.2.16) Mark Antony proved to the crowd with logos- factual evidence- that killing Caesar just because he was ambitious was an awful case. Antony also gives times where Caesar has helped others like the poor. “ When the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept…” (3.2.19) Here, he uses another shift change to more of an emotional state (pathos) which lures the audience to Mark Antony’s side. “If any speak; for him I have offended. Who is so rude that would not be a Roman?” (3.2.20-21) Throughout Brutus’ speech, he uses rhetorical questions like this one to give a chance for the crowd to think about the cause of Caesar’s death.

“...Thought he had no hand in his death, shall receive the benefit of his dying..” (3.2.32-33) At this time, Brutus was bringing Rome’s political fate up again, except this time Caesar wasn’t involved. Instead Brutus gave the people an idea of Mark Antony as the new “Caesar.” In response, Mark Antony brought up their past. For instance, when Caesar pushed the crown away three times.

This gives Mark Antony more support from the audience because they trust him. “Do grace to Caesar’s corpse, and grace to his speech tending Caesar’s glories.” (3.2.51-52) As Brutus makes room for a final statement used with pathos, Mark Antony was ready to make the last words of his speech hit the crowd with emotion. “My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me.” (3.2.34-35) As the speeches closed, an important point to remember is besides the fact that they are opposing to each side while honoring Caesar, together they can be wrong about their judgements of each other. “The third positive virtue of Caesar is his exquisite judgment of human character.
