The Honourable

genuinely is. In comparison of speeches, Mark Antony’s speech is persuasive but not nearly as honorable as Brutus’s was. He proves to be honorable in a way to an individual which is not what honor is all about. When Antony states, “and Brutus is an honourable man..,” he is trying to be sarcastic with the audience to get him on his side (III.ii.81). When Antony keeps referring to him as an "honest" man, he is being very sarcastic, showing how cunning he really is. What he says and what he means…

did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?” to disprove the crux of Brutus’ speech: that Caesar was ambitious and must’ve been slain. Antony creates discord by offering the diametric perspective of “Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,/And sure he is an honourable man/” which creates a subtle dichotomy (Either Caesar was wrong; or Brutus was wrong). However, Antony’s success in his oration lies in the fact that he humbly presents his oration, and continually hides the fact that his speech isn’t…

Rudyard Kipling once said “Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind”. In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, we are constantly reminded of the power of language, from small things such as disproving somebody’s dream to persuading a whole population, it has a very distinct presence in the play. A character who succeeds in manipulating the English language for their own gain is capable of controlling any person as language is the most effective method of persuasion and…

repetition. Antony and Brutus both use the word honorable. Brutus says “I honour him: but as he was ambitious, I / slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his valour; and death for his ambition.” (JC. 3.2.16-18). Brutus goes on and on about how honourable Caesar and how he really thinks he is honoring him but really is…

Peter Grudin, a critic of The Monk interprets Matilda as ‘a witch of Satan’ or a demon. As Matilda begins as a young boy, the seduction that is a vital aspect of the femme fatale is not fulfilled. Therefore, Matilda’s seemingly honourable actions instead appear as a façade for her malicious, demonic intent to cause the downfall of a prestigious symbol of religion. This is illustrated through the possible involvement between Matilda and the serpent, an infamous symbol for Satan. As…

his speech, through his use of Repetition, Rhetorical Questions, and Parallel Structure. Throughout the speech, Mark Antony used a lot of repetition because he kept repeating some lines over and over. This repetition of the phrase, 'Brutus is an honourable man' is a rhetorical device. Antony is being sarcastic when he says it. This has an impact on the crowd, as they listen to Antony…

Contrasting character qualities which make up the term “politics” are explored by both composers where, traits mirroring the best and worst aspects of human nature are useful in representing the duality of people. Shakespeare’s play Henry IV Part One is representative of politics through rivalling main characters, Hal and Hotspur, where their specific characterisation is used to reveal varying traits of human nature. Similarly, Villeneuve’s film, Prisoners, represents perceived human duality by…

reverence and admiration. Crucial to Roman culture, along with common values of honesty, virtue and righteousness, these ideals shaped the lives of many Romans, as depicted by Shakespeare in Julius Caesar. Shakespeare alludes to the Roman ideal of an honourable death, continually referring to Brutus’ and the conspirators’ interpretation of honour and loyalty through vivid and striking imagery.Brutus makes this abundantly evident as early as Act 1 Scene 2, when he exclaims that with “honour in…
