Caesar's Speech : The Untimely Death Of Julius Caesar

Philosophical thinker John Locke spoke on the rights of revolution, and how every man was given the birth-right of overthrowing restricting power. In multiple cases, the only means of challenging the vigors is death and brute force as demonstrated with Brutus in the tragedy Julius Caesar. These acts of violence demonstrate the will of the people -- the distance they are willing to go for their beliefs. When culminating their numbers, this will inevitably lead to the downfall of a once great leader. This is called the epitaph of a tyrant, the death of a controlling iron first -- a synonym for the dawn of a new day.

    The play Julius Caesar written by William Shakespeare in 1599, is about the murder of Julius Caesar, a great Roman general who conjured many lands, and helped to form the Great Empire that we read about today. Caesar was to be crowned king of Rome, but he was savagely murdered by a group of conspirators before he received the crown. After Caesar's brutal murder, Brutus a very honourable Roman, who helped in in Caesar's death, and Mark Antony, one of Caesar's closest friends, gave speeches at Caesar's funeral, trying to convince the crowd to agree with them and turn against the other. Brutus and Antony both made convincing speeches, but Antony came out on top, because Antony let the people make up their own mind, by appealing to their emotions.

In William Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, two speeches are given to the people of Rome about Caesar's death. In Act 3, Scene 2 of this play Brutus and Antony both try to sway the minds of the Romans toward their views. Brutus tried to make the people believe he killed Caesar for a noble cause. Antony tried to persuade the people that the conspirators committed an act of brutality toward Caesar and were traitors. The effectiveness and ineffectiveness of both Antony's and Brutus's speech to the people are conveyed through tone and rhetorical devices.

Shakespeare’s complex play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar contains several tragic heroes; a tragic hero holds high political or social esteem yet possesses an obvious character flaw. This discernible hubris undoubtedly causes the character’s demise or a severe forfeiture, which forces the character to undergo an unfeigned moment of enlightenment and shear reconciliation. Brutus, one of these tragic heroes, is a devout friend of the great Julius Caesar, that is, until he makes many execrable decisions he will soon regret; he becomes involved in a plot to kill the omniscient ruler of Rome during 44 B.C. After committing the crime, Mark Antony, an avid, passionate follower of Caesar, is left alive under Brutus’s orders to take his revenge on

In the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, an honorable man, Brutus, is planning to overthrow the soon to be king, Julius Caesar. Brutus is persuaded by Cassius that Caesar is a liar, too ambitious, weak, and not fit to be Rome’s king. Brutus soon believed Cassius, and they and the conspirators made a plan to kill Caesar. After Caesar’s death, Brutus planned to justify his actions of killing Caesar at his funeral in his speech to the people. After Brutus’s speech, the citizens of Rome were all in agreement that Brutus did the right thing for Rome. Brutus then decides to allow Caesar’s best friend, Antony, to speak in honor of Caesar. Antony speaks, and he convinces the citizens that Brutus’s actions were unjust and turned the people against Brutus.

Julius Caesar, a tale of a great leader that was evidently taken down in the worst way. Julius Caesar was one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays; showing how a leader should present himself, and his people. It really is magnificent; except, Julius Caesar does have a dark side. Friends that Caesar trusted, with Brutus as the leader, stabbed Caesar to death and bathed in his blood. They went on to make sure that Caesar was determined, as Brutus says, “ambitious” (III.ii.24). Though, this play is not all sadness and woes. Marc Antony, a great friend of Caesar’s, turned the tables on his unjust death. When he goes to give his eulogy, he uses pathos, logos, and ethos, to persuade the people. By using these rhetorical strategies, he was able

In the play Julius Caesar written by the whimsical, sophisticated William Shakespeare both beloved Brutus and noble Antony deliver their most thorough attempts to win over the delicate citizens of Rome into what they believed was correct. Brutus gave it a valiant effort in trying to convince the citizens that murdering the noble Caesar was the best thing to do for the people. In the end Brutus’ effort was not enough because Antony was able to turn every Roman against Brutus and the other deceitful conspirators during his speech with his extraordinary use of logos, pathos, and ethos.

Marc Antony’s eulogy wins the heart of his fellow Romans by undermining and destroying the conspiracy. The conspirators claim that it was necessary for the good of the republic to murder Caesar and convince the crowds of Romans to believe so. After he wins over the crowd, Brutus, a conspirator, allows Marc Antony to speak considering him as no threat to the conspiracy. However, Brutus is proven wrong when Antony’s oration manipulates the crowd into a mob thirsty for the blood of the conspirators. Marc Antony’s eulogy is more compelling to the crowd with his use of rhetorical appeals, ethos, pathos, and logos, compared to Brutus in the tragedy, Julius Caesar.

During the play of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar we see Brutus conspire with other conspirators in order to assassinate Caesar. Brutus felt he was doing it for the good of Rome. Mark Antony was a friend of Caesar he was more of a party person than the others. Caesar was in a parade and a person came to him and stated "Beware the Ides of March". The person was warning him about his demise. He simply didn't care to listen and this eventually led to his assassination. After his death Brutus gave a speech to discuss why this had happened to Caesar. Brutus said the he loved Caesar but his ambitions were going to lead to a dictatorship. The people were convinced after Brutus spoke but as Mark Antony spoke things changed. He used heart wrenching pathos of carrying Caesars body and spoke as a friend of the people and how he disagreed with the conspirators plans and thoughts about the future. The two speeches both used pathos, but Brutus used ideas that appealed to the pathos of the people and Mark Antony just appealed using pathos.

In the tragic play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, the ruler of Rome, Julius Caesar, is stabbed to death by some of his so-called friends. Brutus, one of Caesar's best friends, is approached by some of the other senators to join the conspiracy to kill Caesar.

At Caesars's funeral, Brutus gives a speech to convince the citizens that the conspirators were right to kill Caesar. In contrast, Antony gives a speech to convince the Romans that there was no real reason to kill Caesar.

The tone of Brutus' speech is prideful, while the tone of Antony's speech is dramatic and inflammatory.

Although William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar provides a largely accurate and incredibly detailed record of the assassination of its namesake, the play is regarded not as one of the Bard’s histories, but as one of his greatest tragedies. Shakespeare’s poignant lyrical interpretation of the fall of Julius Caesar is defined without a doubt as a tragedy by the sorrowful nature of the development, execution, and aftermath of Marcus Brutus’ betrayal of Julius Caesar.

Fellow Romans, we gather here together today to celebrate the life of a great man, a man who helped bring about Rome to the way it is day. Julius Caesar was born mid July, sixty-six years ago, married to Cornelia, a daughter of his uncle Marius' associate. I met Julius in the Ides of March 77 B.C. They say his persuasiveness won him a great many admirers and followers. I remember when Julius came to me, asking for money. I gave it to him, with a promise that he would pay it back within a certain amount of time. I then heard from other friends, that Julius had approached them for money as well. Soon, we realized that Julius was gambling away our money and that he had yet to learn how to control his spending sprees. He filled up the Senate and
