Ethos Pathos Logos In Julius Caesar

In Brutus’s speech he talked about how he loved Rome more than Caesar. Brutus was very gullible, stoic, and also easily persuaded. Throughout his speech he uses fallacies. One example of a fallacy he uses is the either/or. “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men“ (III, i, 22-24). This makes the Roman people believe that either they going to be slaves or free men. One other thing Brutus uses are logos and ethos. He says, “As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honor him; but, as he was ambitious, I slew him” (III, i, 24-27). In that quote he tries to

After Brutus finishes his speech, Antony speaks about his opinion on the issue; unlike Brutus, Antony acts slyly and communicates a very manipulative tone to persuade the Romans to rebel. Because of Antony's use of parallelism, he creates vivid reasoning for his speech. He states, “ I come here to bury Caesar, not to praise him” (III.ii.44). By using this device, he shows the people of Rome that he isn't praising Caesar, he is putting the leader to rest. This particular line creates a very manipulative tone, because his speech is all about what great this Caesar has done and how he wants to rebel against the conspirators. Further more, Antony uses a lot of irony to slyly get his point across. One example that he uses throughout the speech is “Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is a honorable man” (III.ii.44). Because of the repitition of this ironic statement, the meaning of it changes and intensifies. At first, his tone was sincere, but as the speech progresses, you can see his sarcastic tone increases. Antony does this because he has to use this device to surpass the regulations of Brutus, as well as make the romans listen. Lastly, he uses personification to give life and further meaning to a word. Early in the speech, Antony says, “The evil

            Antony appeals to his audience's emotions: horror, sadness and anger, to persuade them to his view.  Antony enters with Caesar's body and shows his lamentation over his death, which reminds the plebeians what a horrible deed Brutus committed.

He explains to them that he did not kill Caesar based on a personal grievance; “As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice him; as he was valiant, I honor him; but as he was ambitious, I slew him” (lines 23-25, Shakespeare). He also explains that he feared if Caesar obtained more power, he would change the way he helped Rome and would become power hungry and selfish. He wanted to stop the evil, power-hungry ruler before he let his ambition ruin Rome. Mark Antony uses logos in his funeral speech after Brutus has stirred up the crowd, and they are beginning to think Caesar was ambitious and would become power-hungry. Antony tells the crowd that they once adored Caesar, and they should mourn him instead of being angry with him; “You all did love him once without cause: what cause withholds you then, to mourn him?” (lines 100-101, Shakespeare). He shows the crowd that Caesar was loved by Rome, and would not do anything to harm the city that he loved. This gave reason to why Caesar was such a great leader and made the Roman people realize that they loved

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.

Brutus steps out to the capitol and informs them about Caesars death and proceeds to give them an explanation on the reasoning of his death. During Brutus’s speech he appeals to the audiences emotions by stating “There is tears for his love, joy for his fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his ambition.” Brutus uses the strategy Pathos because this statement appealed to the audiences emotions and more than likely made them feel sad or maybe mad. Brutus also states that “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men.” By saying this Brutus is trying to explain to the crowd that if Caesar was to had stayed alive then

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.

Brutus and Antony use rhetorical strategies in their speeches at Caesar’s Funeral. They both use Ethos, Logos, and Pathos differently to convince the commoners their reasoning is solid. Antony delivers the most effective speech because of his use of inductive reasoning and pathos, while Brutus used ethos the best.

Brutus's speech was a lot different from Antony's speech since he used the appeal to logos in his speech which meant he decided to use logic and reasoning to prove his point. "...it’s not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more"(Shakespeare). This quote from the play made by Brutus was a clear example of how he chose to rely on logic rather than emotions as protecting Rome rather than his friend is more of a logical appeal. "Would you rather that Caesar were living and we would all go to our graves as slaves, or that Caesar were dead and we all lived as free men?(Shakespeare)". This quote explains that Brutus is trying to show everybody that it is logical to think to get rid

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 and Antony use pathos in their speech to get to the people's emotions. They think by using that strategy that the people will follow them. For example, in Brutus’s speech he uses pathos by stating, “If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar’s to him I say, that Brutus’ love to Caesar was no less than his.” Brutus is trying to establish common ground with the audience. The

Loyalty is best characterized as a commitment of faithfulness and allegiance towards a person. Many writers incorporate the theme of loyalty through elaborate and dramatic monologues in order to portray their characters feelings. William Shakespeare is no different, and he uses monologues in order to persuade his readers mind. Perhaps his greatest use of monologues is in Shakespeare ’s play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.

Brutus uses a proud tone conveyed by many literary devices to convince the audience that Caesar's murder was justified. Brutus asks, "Would you rather, Caesar were living, and you all die slaves, than that Caesar were dead, so you all live freeman" (Shakespeare 3.2.20-22). Brutus tries to persuade the audience that Caesar's murder was justified through the use of a rhetorical question and a hyperbole. He tells the audience if Caesar was not killed, Caesar could have become a dictator, and the people would have been oppressed. This persuasive question gives the Roman citizens time to contemplate what Brutus is saying, and prompts them to visualize the

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.

Antony repeats the word “honorable” several times in his speech. He is doing this in order to emphasize Brutus’ honorability, and make the citizens question it. Antony also repeats the word “ambitious” a signifacant amount of times. Through the repition of “ambitious”, Antony mocks Brutus trying to justify his actions by saying that Caesar was too ambitious. Every time he was that word, he describes an honorable trait of Caesar that contradicts Brutus’ accusation. For example, he mentions that Caesar refused the crown three times , and asks the citizens whether if that would be considered ambitious. “My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me,”[He weeps](Shakspeare, III,ii 116-117). Antony uses pathos to draw emotions out of the citizens. This quote emphasizes how many Antony loved Caesar, and the sadness he is feeling now that he is dead. Antony’s grief makes the people of Rome sympathetic to him, which leads to them
