Shakespeare's play, “julius Caesar” readers pay attention to Marc Anthony's use of irony. He has to go to Caesar's funeral, and give a speech while risking his life. He wants to prove to the people of Rome that Caesar is not ambitious but an honorable man by giving them a reminder of all the good things Caesar has done for them. At the end he accomplished what he was fighting for. He wanted people to remember Caesar as the honorable man he was before he died and not as the ambitious person Brutus made him look like. One of the time of Irony’s used in the speech is verbal irony, verbal irony is “someone says something that means one thing but is intended to mean the opposite”. It is used when mark Anthony says “Brutus is an honorable man”
