Brutus Caesar Pathos

Antony does exactly that when he shows the audiences each stab wound each conspirator made in Caesar making the audience or the citizens for Rome feel sad for Caesar and generate anger towards the conspirators such as Brutus, Cassius, and etc. Antony uses it again when he reads Caesars will and after he reads that he gave land and money to every Roman it makes the audience feel guilty for calling Caesar a tyrant and such. And then he uses pathos when he says “Caesar was my friend, faithful and just to me.” This makes the audience sad for Antony that he lost his best friend. Brutus also pleads the people's feelings when he says “did love Caesar, but I loved Rome more.” This makes the audience proud to be a Roman or feel patriotism and it shows that he puts Rome before his friendships. Antony uses the people's emotions against Brutus and Brutus does the

In Act 3, Scene 2, 22, he also says “ Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more”. In this quote Brutus uses uses pathos. He’s arguing that he loved Caesar but he made the right choice by killing him since he loved Rome more. For the audience to believe Brutus he had to use pathos and

Antony uses an abundance of pathos in his speech. One example is: “Caesar was my friend and just to me” (III, ii, 86). Using pathos helps the audience make connections with him. He also reads Caesar’s will which makes the people feel guilty about turning against Caesar during Brutus’ speech. He shows them the stabs wounds on Caesar’s coat and names which conspirator stabbed him. The Roman people now feel pity and anger towards the conspirators. Overall, Antony was smart with his words and won over the Roman people better than

Antony gave the most effective funeral speech to thoroughly convince the Roman people to side with him and rebel against the conspirators. In order to accomplish this, Antony uses the persuasive techniques logos, ethos, and pathos.

Marc Antony had the more convincing speech at Caesar's funeral. Antony used pathos and logos to make his speech more convincing. He also got the plebeians fired about and angry about the death of Caesar. Brutus however had a different approach to his speech.

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

By contrast Antony from Julius caesar heavily relies upon the power of language and its ability to exploit the human flaw that is emotion, and by doing so manipulate ones perception through a emotionally (pathos) driven argument. Antony has a greater understanding of the people and knows that they are passionate people who will be swayed by such talk. Also Antony unlike Brutus uses iambic pentameter this shows that he has a higher authority which would make the audience listen more carefully. After each argument Antony produces in Caesar’s defense, he uses irony through the lines “But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man”. This line is repeated a number of times creating an anaphora. As well as slowly dismantling Brutus’

In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Brutus and Antony attempt to persuade the audience of their position on the death of Caesar. While Brutus explains that his death was necessary, Antony claims that Caesar was not deserving of his demise. However, though Brutus does have ample credibility and taps into the emotional link with his audience to some extent, he does not convey as powerful of an argument as Antony, as he fails to provide sufficient factual evidence. Antony, on the other hand, utilizes logical argumentation with solid evidence, creates an emotional connection with his audience, and maintains credibility in order to support his own argument. Through this, it can be seen that Antony’s use of rhetorical appeals and devices is superior

Throughout the play Julius Caesar, Shakespeare uses a variety of rhetorical strategies to articulate the points of many characters. More explicitly the use of different rhetorical strategies can be seen after the death of Caesar. Preceding Caesar's death speeches were given by Mark Antony and Brutus. In these speeches Brutus tried to justify Ceaser death with vague answers, while Mark Antony came to the support of Caesar and questioned why he really had to die. Brutus and Mark Antony's use of logos, pathos and ethos, allowed them both to give effective speeches. Although Brutus gave a strong speech, Mark Antony exceptional use of pathos and ethos provided him a slight edge over Brutus.

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.

In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare’s characters Brutus and Mark Antony present eulogy speeches to the Roman masses. Brutus attempts to comfort the people by using logos and explaining that Caesar deserved his death as he became a tyrant. Antony, on the other hand, employs pathos when pointing out that Caesar was a just man and ruler who did not deserve death. Both of the men use ethos in their speeches to appeal to their listeners but Antony is far more successful in his application of this rhetorical strategy which sets the pace for what happens following the two speeches.

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. Brutus weighs his options and decides to join the conspirators for the good of Rome. 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. Both characters try to persuade the audience, but they achieve different tones using literary and rhetorical devices. The tone of Brutus' speech is prideful, while the tone of Antony's speech is dramatic and inflammatory.

As of Antony he seems to be a harmless friend of Caesar, and Brutus is a monster for killing his best friend Cassius. After Caesars death everything started to change. Antony went to entreat his life to Brutus, pleading with him after all he was the one who stabbed a knife at his close friend, Caesar. Which then questions was Antony truly noble? He did swear his allegiance to Brutus, but for what purpose? Probably to save his life, but it has no good in it if he were to die for Caesar just leaving his memories and reputation. Antony saving his life is not only for him but for Caesars benefit. By Antony convincing Brutus that he's in his side, he was able to make his funeral speech. In Antonys speech he used repetition, “But Brutus says he was ambitious and Brutus is an honorable man”. Each time he repeated that phrase, Caesar seemed less ambitious and Brutus less honorable, but until Brutus was claimed admirable. Even if Antony were to not make that speech, Brutus would have still been suffering. He lost all of his allies, his best friend, his wife killed herself, and also Rome itself. This plays as if Brutus has stabbed himself in the back for betraying Caesar while Antony was just hurt for the death of his best friend. Brutus was filled with regret, guilt and the country he were to protect was even against him. As of Antony he had just lost the one person he had always been loyal

William Shakespeare’s use of Pathos in Mark Antony’s speech is clearly evident. In order to understand the concept and idea of Pathos, and for it to be effective, one must know what it is. The appeal of Pathos uses words or passages to activate emotions, and strike some sort of feeling in the audience’s body. If written effectively, the appeal of Pathos emits an emotional response from the audience. “My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me” (3.2.106-107). Antony elicits both sadness and sympathy from his audience. The death of Julius Caesar, and the use of Pathos is very important in winning over the audience’s appeal. Antony is obviously very angry with what had happened to Julius Caesar, due to the fact that Antony was a good friend with him. “And Brutus Antony, there were an Antony Would

In my opinion, Antony’s speech was more effective, because they took action after his speech. Because of his speech, It created big chaos in Rome and a war. Antony’s speech was mainly about getting revenge for Caesar’s death. He also used logos, pathos, and ethos in his speech. One way he caught the audience’s attention, was by using his emotions. In the speech he said, “My heart is in a coffin and I must pause till it come back to me”. He was saying that his heart was broken and he needed to rethink his words before going forward in sadness. He then used Ethos. “Come I speak in Caesar’s funeral, he was my friend, faithful and just as me”, Antony said. He was acknowledging himself by coming to speak at his friend’s speech, and he Also calling himself a faithful friend. Last, he used logos. He was saying that Brutus was not really ambitious for he had done. Another example of logos, he said, “I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, but here I am to speak what I do know.” Antony was saying that in his speech was stating facts and things of his knowledge.
