Battle of Carrhae

In order to avenge Caesar, Mark Antony turns a shocked, confused crowd of mourners into an angry mob of rioters by using persuasive techniques. The main component of Antony’s speech, Pathos, appealed to the commoners by striking an emotional spot inside them, trying to turn the fickle crowd against Brutus.

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.”/ “Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious” (3.2). The purpose of Antony announcing this…
