“ Romans, countrymen, and lovers!” (III, ii, 13) is what Brutus said at the beginning of the speech for Caesar’s funeral. Marc Antony said something close to that as well. That is how they got the people’s attention during the funeral. The speeches were similar in certain ways, while other sections were different. Brutus spoke more about honour, and Antony said more stuff about ambition.
Brutus spoke first, he started with honour. Therefore, he says to “believe and respect him with honor” (III,ii, 14-15). The reason for the stabbing of Caesar is because he was thought to be power-hungry. “As Caesar loved me, i weep for him” (III,ii, 25), this was said because Brutus loved Caesar but he loved Rome more. Nevertheless, Brutus was talking about him more than he was Caesar. At the end of his speech he said “as I slew my best lover for the good of Rome, I have the same dagger for myself, when it shall please my country to need my death” (III,ii,45-48). …show more content…
He says “i come to bury Caesar, not to praise him” ()this tells the audience that Antony felt sorrowful of the the death. Marc Antony refers to Brutus’ speech a couple time to make his own speech sound better. He said to the countrymen “he was my friend, faithful and just to me: but Brutus says he was ambitious” () by using pathos he set an emotional feel to how he had lost a faithful friend. Antony says tells the Romans that Caesar cared for the poor, that he wept for them. Marc Antony then repeats “yet Brutus says he was ambitious; and Brutus is an honourable man.” (III, ii, He talks about how he offered Caesar a kingly crown but refused, then again he repeats the same thing again. The last thing Antony said was “my heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me.”
