Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger

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.

ambition as a “grievous fault” while exonerating Caesar of it, and in turn have the justification of taking down his killers for unfairly ending his life. One way Antony brings their attention to this is lines nine through sixteen.

of people they do not know for they have to cater to a group of people they do not know personally. We see this test of eloquence between Antony and Brutus in act 3 scene 2. The best way to examine the differences between Antony and Brutus’ ways of speaking is to deconstruct two very similar sentences that they both said. To greet the plebeians, Brutus says “Romans, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause, and be silent / that you may hear” (3,2,13-14) while Antony greets the same crowd…

Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare. Before Antony gives his famous eulogy of his dead friend and future leader of Rome, Julius Caesar, Marcus Brutus gives his outlook on the situation first in front of a crowd of Romans. Brutus is also a close friend of Caesar but he believes that Caesar needed to die because he was ambitious and a possible future tyrant; Brutus wanted to save Rome from that possibility and he successfully brings the crowd to his side.

speech that completely turned a weeping mourning crowd into an angry mob. This crowd had just heard that news that their beloved leader Julius Caesar had been put to death. Brutus (a main protagonist in the tragedy) had spoke before Mark Antony and made them sad and mournful about Caesar's death: Mark Antony spoke after Brutus and turned the crowd into an angry mob.
