Pathos is an appeal to one’s empathy. Pathos is the most persuasive rhetorical device due to the effect it has on a crowd. Antony carefully uses words that will create a strong emotional connection with the audience.

An instance where Antony uses pathos during the funeral speech is when he says “You all…

He reminded the people that Caesar would have ruined Rome, become a tyrant and would have enslaved everyone, he said "had you rather Caesar were living, and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead?".

Battle of the Speeches According to John Morley, “Three things matter in a speech - who says it, how he says it, and what he says, and of the three, the latter matters the least.” John understancds that how the speaker presents himself and his ideas can change the side of the crowd, more than any word they could have said.
