They knew he was innocent but decided to kill him anyways then continue on to burn the houses of the conspirators (3.3.25-36). Brutus and Cassius flee and Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus now rule Rome. The triumvirate discuss which of their enemies they should kill, “Upon condition Publius shall not live, who is your sister’s son, Mark Antony.” “He shall not live. Look, with a spot I damn him. But Lepidus, go you to Caesar’s house. Fetch the will hither, and shall determine how to cut off some…
Brutus stabbed, And as he plucked his cursed steel away, Mark how the blood of Caesar followed it” (A3S2, line 188-190). Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, is about a man who going to be crowned king of Rome and who was loved by all. Brutus and Antony were both effective in trying to win the audiences favor however, Antony used more pathos to connect with the audience’s emotions and Brutus used more of a logos appeal.For example, when Antony read from Caesar’s will about where the money…
Mark Anthony plans out an attack against all who were contributors to the death of Caesar. On the other side the two main benefactors to the assassination of Julius Caesar, are building an army preparing to either strike or best protect themselves for…
Caesar is a great leader because he cares about his subjects. During Caesar’s funeral oration, Mark Antony talks about Caesar’s care for those he rules. Antony describes Caesar as caring about everyone, not just the rich and powerful. Antony says, “ When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.” Antony explains that Caesar is compassionate and commiserates even with those who have less. In addition, Antony uses the word wept to describe Caesar’s crying while he used the less powerful word,…

Carnegie. This represents Mark Antony’s speech for Caesars funeral as well as his ascension. His is more effective since he appeals to the Romans emotionally then logically and direct. Also Antony is justifying Caesars death rather then proving himself that he’s an honorable man. Marc Antony uses repetition synecdoches, alliteration, and an ethos appeal to seek revenge on conspirators in his speech. People say that Brutus’ speech is more effective but I disagree. Marc Antony does not…
In William Shakespeare’s tragedy, “Julius Caesar,” Brutus and Antony portrayed two antagonizing reactions after Caesar’s regicide. This scene not only lays the framework for the rest of the play, but also exemplifies the personality traits of Brutus and Antony. Their persuasion throughout their monologues helps to rally the plebeians in support of their causes. In response, this scene marks a turning point in the play and subsequently foreshadows Brutus’ murder. It shows how Brutus’ actions and…
Along with these works is “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar”. In “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar”, Shakespeare writes two very well known speeches that are delivered by the characters Brutus and Mark Antony during the funeral of Julius Caesar. In speeches, Shakespeare uses ethos, pathos and logos on behalf of Mark Antony and Brutus to persuade the citizens of their own beliefs. Brutus is the first one to give his speech at Julius Caesar’s funeral, and in his speech he tells the citizens his reason…
“noble” is being used less and less in literature. Noble is commonly used to describe someone with high morals and great character. In the last lines of the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, the character Mark Antony concludes about Brutus, “This was the noblest Roman of them all” (V.v. 74-81). Antony says this because Brutus was the only conspirator who acted for the good of Rome. Therefore, because Brutus acted for the sake of Rome rather than envy…
As seen on page 25, Cassius easily manipulates Brutus into him agreeing to murder Caesar. Brutus is also manipulated by Mark Antony (103). Mark Antony not only has his life spared by Brutus, but Antony is also granted permission to give a speech at Caesar’s funeral. Brutus is not fooled only twice, but three times when on Cassius manipulates Brutus to forgive him (149).Therefore, Brutus is easily manipulatable…
