The Killer Speech People can be swayed to believe one thing or another in many ways. Unfortunately, this can be done rather easily. They can be swayed by using emotion, morals, or logic.

To begin, Marcus Brutus opens with a logical speech. He wanted the people to see the reason in his actions. Such as when Brutus stated, “Not that…

In Julius Caesar after Caesar is killed by the conspirators, there is a gathering. During this gathering, Brutus and Mark Antony both give speeches on behalf of their belief of whether Caesar should have been killed or not.

Julius Caesar, a drama written by William Shakespeare, is about the dictator Julius Caesar, who was assassinated by a group of conspirators, and the effects that followed.
