Compare And Contrast Brutus And Antony's Speech

The use of the persuasion elements of pathos,logos, and ethos by the characters of julius caesar was very important in terms of the series of events that occurred. The most persuasive characters in the book are brutus, antony, and cassius. Each of these three characters used pathos,logos and ethos throughout the book But each of them only really stood out with their use of one of the three. The ability of Marc to persuade the people of Rome who were against him to believe in his point of view showed incredible use of pathos. While, Cassius’s use of ethical appeal in his dialogue to brutus showed a fascinating usage of three elements but mainly ethos. And finally, brutus showed the best use of logos with his speech to cassius and the conspirators.

Both Brutus' and Antony's speeches had very little Logos in them but their speeches did have some in it. Some true things that Brutus talks about are when he speaks

William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is a tragic story of the dog and the manger.  After Caesar is killed Mark Antony, a good friend of Caesar, plots to revenge his bloody death.  He knows there is strength in numbers, and through a speech at Caesar's funeral, Antony plans to win the crowd of Rome and turn them against Brutus and the other conspirators.  Cassius is one of the leading conspirators and is weary of Antony; Brutus is confident that there is nothing to fear, but he speaks before Antony at the funeral just to be safe.  These two speeches, vastly different in message but similar in delivery, move the emotions of the people.  Brutus's and Antony's

To start his speech, Antony opens with some kind words about Caesar. Antony uses ethos by speaking kindly of Caesar and saying, “He was my friend, he was faithful and just to me” (line 81). Antony appears to be a honest and humble man mourning for his friend. By saying “Brutus is an honorable man” (line 83), Antony places himself on the crowd’s side because up to this point the crowd is in favor of Brutus. Antony has made himself seem more trustworthy which also utilizes ethos. He then continues to speak of Caesar’s great deeds that do not support Brutus’s claim of Caesar’s ambition. For example, Antony tells of Caesar saying, “He brought many captives home to Rome whose ransoms brought wealth to the city” (line 83). This is all Brutus wants Antony to say but Antony continues and asks the crowd, “Is this the work of an ambitious man” (line 89)? Antony is using logos to influence the Roman people because he provides a counterexample to the claims of Caesar’s ambition. Furthermore, Antony places doubt in Brutus by saying, “Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man” (lines 91-92). This use of logos allows Antony to prove Brutus wrong, even if he does not say it out loud.

Brutus made his speech effective in persuading the people by using tone and rhetorical devices. Brutus was

In the Tragedy Of Julius Caesar, Brutus and Anthony both presented a speech to the citizens of Rome. Brutus argued why his actions to kill Julius were acceptable while Antony contradicted Brutus’s views, arguing why Caesar should not have been murdered. Both speakers used ethos, logos, and pathos to persuade the people of Rome. Brutus’s speech was mainly based on logic, while Antony’s speech took more of an emotional approach . Overall, Antony had a sophistic style, he was much more artful and cunning than Brutus. He reeled in the crowd like a fish and captured them with his compelling diction.

First of all, Shakespeare/Antony was able to use logos as well as pathos. Brutus states “The question of his death is enrolled in the capitol” The logic in what he is saying is that his ambitions now lay in the questions in the capitol. Then Antony rebuttals with “He hath brought many captives home to Rome. Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill” He was able to destroy his ambition statement with a single lip movement giving an evidence that he is not ambitious. It was able to sway the people of Rome into believing and relate to some logic of the accomplishments Caesar was able to achieve. Which had brought home many people and reunited families that were once thought to be lost. Brutus was an honorable man and could be trusted, he was

Brutus and Antony use 3 types of persuasion. Ethos, Pathos, and logos. Ethos Is persuasion that convinces because of the good character of the speaker. Pathos is persuasion that convinces because of emotions. Logos is persuasion that convinces because of the use of logic.

Logos can be seen used by Brutus and Mark Antony, However Brutus was able to use logos more efficiently to appeal to the citizens. In particular Brutus used this rhetorical strategy to persuade the people to his side. Brutus’s exploit of logos can be examined as he says “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?” (45). From these lines Brutus uses logos as he gives all the citizens a logical reason for why he killed Caesar. Brutus uses logos to explain to everyone that if Caesar was alive everybody would be living as slaves rather than freemen. In contrast to Brutus, Mark Antony uses logos to support Caesar. Mark Antony utilizes logos to disprove the claim made by Brutus about Caesar being ambitious. Mark Antony use of logos

The most predominate and important aspect In the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare are the speeches given to the Roman citizens by Brutus and Antony, the two main charaters, following the death of Caesar. Brutus and Antony both spoke to the crowd,using the same rhetorical devices to express their thoughts. Both speakers used the three classical appeals employed in the speeches: ethos, which is an appeal to credibility; pathos, which is an appeal to the emotion of the audience; and logos, which is an appeal to the content and arrangement of the argument itself. Even though both speeches have the same structure Antony’s speech is significantly more effective than Brutus’s.

Roman politician and popular figure in the Roman Republic, Mark Antony, uses the rhetorical devices of pathos, logos, and ethos in his funeral oration for Julius Caesar, in order to deem the assassination of Caesar by Cassius, Brutus, and their conspirators, wrong. The speech conducted by Mark Antony, a good friend of Caesar’s, has a sorrowful tone due to the fact that Mark Antony wants the crowds of Romans to agree with him. Antony conducts his speech in such a way to strike pity and regret in the assassinators and conspirators of Julius Caesar. Usage of pathos, ethos, and logos is essential in winning over the plebeians trust and respect.

At Caesar’s funeral, Brutus and Antony give their speeches. Antony uses pathos in his speech to get to the crowd’s emotions so they will relate to his side of the speech. Brutus tries to use logos in his speech so that the crowd will be on his side. Brutus also used a little bit of ethos in his speech. If a writer knows how to read their audience, it will make persuading his audience a lot easier.

In Julius Caesar, there are two speeches that people have been put together to see who was more effective, Antony, the loyal right hand to Julius Caesar; and Brutus, a close friend of Julius Caesar, who was manipulated to help murder his friend and to justify their actions. These two speeches happen right after Julius Caesar’s death, and while Brutus’s speech was effective. Antony’s speech cleverly manipulated the crowd to make them to think what he wanted them to think. This clever use of ethos, pathos, and logos makes the speech more effective. For example he showed the crowd how much the conspirators stabbed him to get the job done. This was at a critical time of his speech and I would argue that this was planned to be done at a very precise

In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, rhetorical devices are commonly used to persuade the audience. During the speeches many devices were effectively used to convince the Romans to choose the side of the argument being presented. Mark Antony’s speech ended up being more effective than Brutus’s due to his use of pathos throughout to help his point be made that Caesar did not deserve to

“We know what we are, but know not what we may be,” William Shakespeare. Marcus Junius Brutus was a Roman politician that lived from 85 BC to 42 BC, but he is better known as Brutus from Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar. Marcus Junius Brutus and Shakespeare’s Brutus were very similar but Shakespeare’s Brutus is a mere shadow of the historical figure he represents.
