Antony has to give a speech to the Roman people at Caesar’s funeral where he talks about the great things Caesar has done for Rome and its people. He can not talk wrongfully of the conspirators or he will end up like Caesar so he has to effectively use his language to persuade the crowd into believing that the conspirators wrongfully killed Caesar without telling them that the conspirators wrongfully killed Caesar. In act three of Julius Caesar Antony uses so many rhetorical appeals in order to persuade the crowd such as, ethos to give an appeal to Caesar and Brutus, logos to get the Roman people to want to hear more of what he is not telling, and pathos to make the crowd feel sorry for Caesar and join Anthony’s side.

In the tragic play Julius Caesar there is a leader everybody looked up to named Caesar. Although people looked up to him he was not always loyal,trustworthy, or honorable.

Despite knowing the story of Julius Caesar to some extent, most 16th/17th century English would not have ever visited Rome, nor would know what the Roman Republic was like, which presented a unique opportunity to William Shakespeare to create a play unlike any other he had created before.
