Antony's use of the three forms of persuasion was more effective than Brutus's. Antony's use of ethos, pathos, and logos is able to convince the people that he is correct.

In the beginning of Brutus's speech he states "Believe me for mine honor, and have respect to mine honor that you may believe. "(III:14-15).…
In my opinion, Antony speech was more delivered better because includes several persuasive details in his speech. After saying that his intent wasn't to praise Caesar, he says, "He was my friend, faithful and just to me. " Antony's speech points out many of Caesar acts that had benefited them as Roman citizens. He plays with their minds saying that Caesar had been generous to them and protected them from the "intruders". He uses rhetorical questions, irony, and etc. to effectively persuade his audience to join his side instead of Brutus'.…
Brutus is successful in winning his arguments because he appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos appropriately.

The Effects of Brutus and Antony Brutus Is a noble man Antony repeats with sarcasm during the time that Brutus allowed him for Caesar’s funeral. Brutus was a noble man indeed, though he was corrupted by the conspirators to betray Caesar. Antony can relate with Cassius for being manipulative and weasel like. The contrast between both Brutus and Antony are very distinct and can show how easily someone can be manipulated or how a person can hide their true self.…
Brutus on the other hand, uses only facts which doesn’t give much credibility and there is no bond between him and the crowd. Antony’s precise word choice allows him to even combine pathos and ethos in one phrase. For example, towards the end of the funeral speech, Antony says “But yesterday the word of Caesar might have stood against the world: now he lies there.” Antony appeals to the empathy of the crowd by making them feel sad about his death, especially when he says “now he lies there”. He also shows Caesar was morally good because Caesar was willing to stand against the world just for…
Both Brutus and Antony are able to use the skill of rhetoric to get what they want, but who used it better? Antony is cunning and uses rhetoric effortlessly in his speech. After Brutus speaks to the crowd, Antony is next and he persuades the people to his side by countering Brutus about everything he said. His speech is powerful and he moves the crowd so deeply they begin to riot and kill innocent people. Antony used pathos and grabbed the Roman people's attentions by getting to their emotions.…
Both speeches of Brutus and Antony about Caesar’s death were compelling, but Mark Antony’s speech was overall superior to that of Brutus’s, for he won back the Roman people’s loyalty. In Brutus’s speech, he tries to invoke the people of Rome using ethos. Brutus uses ethos to credit himself, saying that the people should trust his words. The people of Rome can trust in his words because he is a part of the government, so in using ethos was an effective way on persuading the people.…
After reading the two speeches I disagree with Antony stating he is “no orator as Brutus is, but a plain blunt man”(III.ii.220). I disagree with Antony portraying himself as a plain blunt man because the way he speaks to the crowd of Rome reveals his manipulative, selfish and conniving ways. He does not want what is best for Rome, but only what is best for…
After close examination it is clear to see that Antony's use of Ethos, Pathos, and logos is far more persuasive than Brutus argument. Anthony's words strike the word of Brutos. At the beginning of Brutus's speech, he instantly uses ethos by telling the people to remember his honor, which is effective and catches the audience's attention. He remind the audience of his wisdom so they will more easily believe him.…
In addition to defending a Caesar’s dead body Antony had to go back in the past to things he has done for the people, and he is not even defending himself. Not alone that Antony has to worry about the conspirators, he even sent a servant to the scene of murder to make sure he was not a target on the group of conspirators list. Consequently, leading to Antony fearing for his life while giving his speech. Then after he gave his speech he was able not only calm the crowd, but to convince them to go against the conspirators and want kill them. Overall while Brutus’s speech was exceptional and was able to calm the crowd and change their minds into thinking Caesar was a tyrant.…
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar “Et tu, Brute?” is a common phrase that is said among the world, which is what is believed to be the Roman dictator, Julius Caesar, who died in 44 B.C. last words. This saying is in Latin, a language that very few people actually do know, means “and you, Brutus?” or “you, too, Brutus?” In this essay I will be speaking on how I believe that Mark Antony had a better speech than Brutus, there are many reasons why, and I will go into greater detail in them, but for now, one of the main ideas on why it is a greater speech, which is the attention and response that he got from the crowd. One of the many reasons on why Antony had the greater speech compared to Brutus was how he did all he needed to do in the binds of…
In Shakespeare 's Julius Caesar, Marc Antony had the herculean task of turning the Roman population against Brutus and the other conspirators. To do this, Antony needed to follow up Brutus ' powerful oration with a short, supervised speech. Still, in little time Antony had turned the tides and had the Plebeians on his side. He had used certain devices in his speech, several of which include equalization, repetition, emotion, humility, irony, inflation, and anticipation, to aid in his success. Antony 's strategies worked like a charm, and even before his funeral oration had finished he and the conspirators all knew who had the upper hand.…
