The speech Mark Antony gives after the death of Caesar in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar is an exceptional example of a persuasive speech. In the speech Antony gives he uses several effective techniques to get the reaction he wants out of a very biased and stunned crowd. The words in the speech demonstrate logic, passive language, and emotional responses which are used to lead the crowd to hunting down Brutus and the other assasssins the killed Caesar. Antony, in his speech, mentioned several…

Antony, in his eulogy, presented himself as filled with grief and loss; however, a form of subliminal persuasion and manipulation is used to sway the Roman people in his favor. The loyal friend of Caesar appeared to be supportive of the conspirators, but his devotion to the true king never wavered. While he praised the conspirators for being “such honorable men”, Antony admitted how he grieved for his friend. He utilized paralipsis in his cajolery, stating that “I speak not to disprove what…

Heroism is a very debatable topic in this day and age, I often find myself thinking, what truly does make a hero? I believe that in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Caesar himself displays the most hero-like qualities, above all the other characters. I understand that that seems likes a very bold statement to make, so to prove it, I’ll have to answer the question I asked from before, what makes a hero? In my opinion there are three distinct qualities that make up a true hero. The first is respect,…

The acclaimed play written by William Shakespeare,The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, should go by another name, The Tragedy of Brutus. Brutus is the main character and hidden protagonist, he is a senate member scarred by Ceaser rising so quickly to kingdom. After being mislead by many friends he decides to assist in the murder of Julius Caesar. The noble Brutus is truly the only protagonist in the play, he should be the center of the play in the stead of the short lived and arrogant Julius Caesar.…

All responsibility must come with external stimuli in the form of fault. An example would be Julius Caesar. Caesar was at fault for besieging the city of Rome and ruling over the Roman Republic as a dictator. His decision led to the death of hundreds but also caused the Roman Empire which emerged and spurred a period of learning and technology like nothing before. This question may be complicated but does wrongdoing in the world lead to our greatest Triumphs? This question is explained by…

Life is something that can be over any second but still it’s considered to the most precious that we are given by a lot of people; but are there acceptable or even honorable reasons to end the existence of an individual human being, since a plethora of people get killed everyday as a result of contrasting reasons. That's what Brutus struggles with. Julius is his BFF and still he ends up stabbing him in his back, literally and figuratively. Does this make him a bad guy? Brutus decision to…

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, he exploits Cassius’ manipulative and clever nature in order to control Brutus’s actions and thoughts. Cassius is power hungry and tends to follow the path of treachery in contrast to Brutus who only wants to do what’s best for the people. Cassius’ cunning and selfish personality opposes Brutus’ noble and magnanimous one. Cassius utilizes manipulation to take advantage of people which contradicts to Brutus’ honest demeanor. After believing that he has almost…

The speeches given at Julius Caesar's funeral were both spectacular;however, there were some comparable aspects. Brutus's speech was more friendly, loving, and kind towards Julius Caesar and the audience. Mark Antony's speech was more of him talking down Brutus and Julius, telling the citizens that were at the funeral, that they need to "forget" the memory of Julius. Brutus shows how much that he cares for Julius and how much he misses him; where as Mark Antony speaks as if he is already to…
