During the “funeral” scene in Act III in William Shakespeare's play, “ The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,” he makes the speeches of Brutus and Antony dramatic and memorable with the use of rhetorical appeals and persuasive techniques. ith the use of rhetorical appeals and persuasive techniques, both Brutus and Antony are able to persuade the crowd in their own point of view on the matter of Caesar's death. For Brutus, Shakespeare had his speech focused on the reasoning of why the conspirators killed…

Two of the most important speeches in Julius Caesar are actually spoken right after each other. Mark Antony's and Brutus' speech are the most criticized and looked over, so following that theme I will be comparing the two speeches in this essay. They also reveal quite a bit about each, Mark Antony's and Brutus', personalities. Out of the two speeches that are given to the crowd gathered Brutus went first, so that's who I'll be addressing first. Brutus is a very logical man. since he is so…

My friends, we all know why we’re gathered here today. We all know of the man, an honorable man, who fell. However, might I just ask why we gather here, today, in our pain? Why must we suffer so, and shed our tears over this man when our great leaders, our brave generals, feared what this man might do? Perhaps they thought him a villain, and this villainous man should be punished for sharing his coin, giving his land, and expanding this great territory of Rome. Caesar, a cruel man indeed……

Augustus, now in power, felt it was his duty to avenge the saying of his dear uncle; therefore he set out against those who were responsible for Julius Caesar’s death. he planned first to surprise Brutus and Cassius by fighting against them, but Marcus Antony, who at the time was a member of the consul, opposed these plans. Infuriated, Augustus formulated a plan. After receiving advice from the aristocrats, who he know despised Antony,…

Clifford starts his essay with a ship owner who allows a vessel that is need of major repairs to go out on the voyage. The ship owner has failed to make sure the ship is safe for the voyage; he has convinced himself that the vessel is seaworthy. The ship, carrying many of passengers, sinks in the mid-ocean, killing all that was aboard, and the ship owner collects the insurance payment. Second part, a group of people levies untrue (and uninvestigated) charges against others, though they believe…

Brutus and Antony both had speeches that were making Caesar seem like he was a good man, even Brutus's speech after slaying Caesar.They both had speeches that were mostly about Caesar. Antony got a bit off topic and turn on Brutus after he said he wouldn’t. Antony's speech was longer and more boring than Brutus's. Brutus kept his short and made it to where the people would stay interested and know what he was trying to say. I believe that Brutus had a better speech because he had the people…

What is honor ? Honor is having high respect;esteem towards someone or something. My definition of honor is to regard or treat someone with admiration and respect. Alexander Graham Bell represents honor to me. ALexander Graham Bell was born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The second son of Alexander Melville Bell and Eliza Grace Symonds Bell. He had two brothers, Melville James Bell and Edward Charles Bell. Alexander Graham Bell has many major accomplishments. He was an inventor,…

The definition of honor is to regard with great respect and high esteem. My view of honor is respectfulness towards others, and putting others before you. I believe that an honorable person is Ernest Rutherford because of his important scientific contributions in the early 20th Century. Some of the things he did in order to become such an honorable person was by receiving the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908, and being knighted in 1914 (Ernest Rutherford). Ernest Rutherford was known as the…

1) A) Pun: “play on words.” Based on multiple meanings of a single word or on words that sound alike (homophones) but mean different things. B) Cobbler: “A trade, sir, that I hope I may use with a safe conscience, which indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles” (1.1.12-15). Cobbler uses this pun to address that he is a mender of worn soles. This literally means that he repairs the soles of shoes, but it can mean he mends souls. He can repair shoes but cannot repair the broken souls of people’s lives…

Throughout history, individuals who have conflicted over a certain aspect, ultimately debate upon the circumstances of the situation. One contemplates about the techniques in which they would apply while speaking in order to convince the individuals incorporated within their region. Individuals would make nationalistic statements as well as logical and effective claims, which appeal to the public. Likewise, within the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, after the catastrophic death of…
