Ethos Pathos Logos In Julius Caesar

An example in Danielle speech is “We got so geeked-out on making WALL-E this convincing robot, that we made his binoculars practically optically perfect.” I think this is a great way to use pathos because, for one thing, it made the audience laugh. Another thing is that she connected it with what she was talking about. At this point in the TED talk, she is talking about how they use lighting to make the characters stand out. Throughout her speech, she uses pathos to engage the audience. To help explain what she is talking about without boring people. She used pathos so they could be

Words are more powerful than swords, but what makes this true. In these speeches Antony and Brutus’ pathos logos and ethos to portray Shakespeare belief that logos in combination with pathos wins arguments.

I found in the play “Leaving Home” that I could find the use of pathos in various spots. I noticed the definition “an expression or utterance that evokes sadness or sympathy, esp. in a work of literature; a description, passage, or scene of this nature” more than the others. In this text, I could really see the use of pathos being used by the emotionally-loaded language, the emotional examples, the figurative language, and the emotional tone. The actors had a lot going on in just the short time of the play.

This is basically anything that makes the audience feel something. It is also the most used in this speach. An example of pathos occurs when Douglass says "The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity, and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought life and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn" (1003). This is pathos because it makes the audience feel guilty for celebrating something that so many others can not. Another example is "There is not a man beneath the canopy of heaven that does not know that slavery is wrong for him" (1004). This makes the audience feel guilty for knowing that they would never volunteer to be a slave, yet they have no problem owning some and treating them cruelly. Finally, pathos can be seen another time when Douglass says "What! am I to argue that it is wrong to make men brutes, to rob them of their liberty, to work them without wages, to keep them ignorant of their relations to their fellow men, to beat them with sticks, to flay their flesh with the lash, to load their limbs with irons, to hunt them with dogs, to sell tem at auction, to surrender their families, to knock out their teeth, to burn their flesh, to starve them into obedience and submission to

In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, the dictator of Rome is assassinated by his senators. Among which was one of his closest advisors, Brutus. Another friend of Caesar, named Marc Antony, hears of this assassination and is grief-stricken. Together the two men speak to the citizens of Rome about their views of what is right. Firstly Brutus speaks, soon after Antony recites his side of the story. Although the crowd is swayed by both men, Antony is able to maintain the support of the people with his ideas and values. Antony was the better speech for a varying amount of rhetoric he used, among which are pathos and juxtaposition. Brutus uses these as well, but not as adequately.

In Greek Pathos is said to mean suffering or experience which gives the emotional appeal to the reader. With Pathos you can use vivid or emotional language , and sensory details to give imagery and emotionally appeal the reader. Pathos can be used to change the audience opinion to whatever the author wants in the argument. In Fast Food Nation : The Dark Side Of All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser , Pathos is used to improve his argument and persuade the opinions of others.

In “The Ethnic Theory of Plane Crashes,” Malcolm Gladwell makes a pathos appeal to the audience using scene and tone to really intrigue the intended audience by messing with their emotions. Gladwell uses dialogue throughout the chapter to help show his use of pathos also. Of course there are the other two appeals of ethos and logos used in this chapter, but pathos is what really stuck out to me. Gladwell’s use of pathos really enhances the text and hits the reader at an emotional level, making them more interested in the section. Pathos is what authors use to basically have the reader become emotionally attached to the piece.

Pathos is used as a sort of power play; it is used to evoke empathy, pity, patriotism, fear, sorrow, and other delicate emotions. Even in positive media, pathos is insidiously inescapable. Some common examples of the usage of pathos

Writers and speakers use pathos to present a feeling they have towards a certain event that is occurring, like demonstrating their displeasure with injustice. Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton use pathos in their work to make their argument stronger by inspiring their readers to take action on the injustices that are being committed.

Lastly, Pathos is the appeal to emotion. Pathos will use the emotion the persuader is appealing to and exploit that to convince the audience of their point of view. Pathos has been used heavily in politics recently, mostly appealing to the people’s emotion of anger and embarrassment in congress to persuade the audience that the opposing party is the one to vote for. The assumption of common sense is also used in pathos. In order to appeal to one’s emotions, the audience must share the same knowledge you’re basing your argument off

Pathos was used in “The Speech of the Virgina Convention” to persuade the delegates to go to war with British. In Henry’s speech he used pathos. Henry used this device to make the delegates feel guilty. “ Eyes see not, and having ears hear not”(Henry).

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.

Brutus used repetition the most to influence the crowd. He states about Caesar’s “tears, love, and ambition.” Brutus also asked the audience rhetorical questions that they could not answer, and he would take their silence as if they were agreeing when in reality they were probably too scared to answer. Antony also used repetition to sway the crowd. He often pointed out that “Brutus was an honorable man” and he said it with more and more sarcasm each time. Antony also took advantage of the crowd and used reverse psychology on them. He used Caesar’s will as a tool to accomplish this. He told the crowd about Caesar’s will, telling them that they would think twice if they heard what was in the will, but he doesn’t read it to them. That made them beg for him to read it to them. Not only does this get them to do what he wants, it also give the crowd a false sense of authority over Antony. Also, he asks the crowd if he can come down and join them, saying they give him permission, again giving them that sense of authority. Antony, in addition to the will, used Caesar’s body as a prop in his speech. He created a sympathetic attitude towards Caesar. The other pathos appeal Antony used was the contrast that he showed between the beginning and end of his speech. He opened, saying he was only to “bury Caesar, not to praise him” yet towards the end he had accomplished his goal in making the crowd feel sorry for Caesar and wanting to

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.

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
