Examples Of Ethos In Brutus Caesar

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

Some examples of Brutus using Pathos in his speech are when he talks about how he slew his best friend for the good of Rome and for the good of the people. Also some more examples of Pathos in Brutus' speech is when he talks about how he has the same dagger for himself whenever the Roman people call for his death. Antony has some Pathos in his speech also that gets to the people in the crowd. Examples of Pathos in Antony's speech are when he talks about how his heart is in the coffin with Caesar and when he needs to take a second away because he has to go cry because of how upset he is. Some more examples of pathos in his speech are when he talked about how it wasn’t right for them to know how much Caesar loved all the people of Rome. In conclusion, I think that as I stated before, they both had very good examples but Antony had better examples because his got down more to the people's level and he really could connect with them and knew what they wanted to

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

Brutus attempts to use pathos to stir the crowd and develop empathy. In his speech, Brutus declares, “As Caesar loved me, I weep for him”. Brutus’ use of this strategy was less effective than Antony’s because he focuses too much on his own emotions than trying to manipulate his fellow Romans’ emotions. His lack of focus on the others’ emotions prevented him from using this device effectively. Though Brutus makes an attempt to gain his audience’s sympathy, he fails to do so.

Brutus’s main goal in his speech was to justify his action of killing Caesar in hope that the citizens would be in agreement with him and understand that he had Rome’s best interests at heart. Brutus attempts to persuade the people through ethos, pathos, and logos. He mainly uses ethos. He continuously says that he is an honorable man who loved Caesar but loved his country more. He uses an example of ethos when he says, “Hear me for my cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me for mine honour, and have respect for mine honour, that you may believe.” In this quote, he uses restatement to show his credibility as an honorable man. Because he approached the people in this way, they think, “Why would an honorable man, such

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

“If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: --Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar, were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead to live all free men?”

Throughout the two men’s speeches, both try to invoke emotions in the people of Rome. Brutus attempts this first and is ultimately less effective than the pathos Antony uses throughout his speech. Brutus states, “ If there’s anyone in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar’s, I say to him that my love for Caesar was no less than his. If, then, that friend demands to know why I rose up against Caesar, this is my answer: it’s not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” In this statement, Brutus is directing the emotion towards himself instead of the people. He isn’t allowing the people to feel for themselves; this is not an compelling way of using pathos. Antony uses a different method that creates a bigger rise out of the crowd. He does this by saying,

In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Caesar becomes king and is killed for his ways. After the death of Caesar, Brutus and Antony both speak on his death in front of all of Rome. The speeches given by both Brutus and Antony are very persuasive to the audience that they are given to. Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are used in different ways in order for each to have an effect on the people of Rome. In Brutus’s speech, he uses Logos to convince the Romans that he and the conspirators did a good deed by killing Caesar. He stated in his speech that “Had you rather Caesar we're living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?” To me that shows him giving proof to the people of Rome, naturally saying it's good he died, now we can be free.

The tweet that I have composed from the perspective of Mark Antony uses pathos, logos and ethos.In the tweet, when Antony says: “You were all fooled by ‘honorable’ Brutus…”, it may make one feel belittled or angry that they allowed someone like Brutus to fool them or make them feel less intelligent, or even incapable of forming their own thoughts and opinions. One may feel guilty that they betrayed someone such as Caesar, who was made out by Antony to be dedicated to their country. Loyalty is an important theme to the Romans, as displayed several times by the conspirators. Throughout the play, they expressed that their actions were for the good of Rome, even though they risked al lot. The Roman citizens would not want to betray the idea of

Brutus also uses pathos in scene 2 of act 3. He tries to persuade the crowd by using emotions. He says "There are tears for his love; joy for his fortune; honor for his

Antony uses it when he talks about how Brutus" was Caesar's angel" (III, ii, 182). This is pathos because he is making the plebeians feel a sense of pity, sympathy. It is effective in that he is showing that he can't fathom why Brutus who was loved and trusted, by Caesar, would partake in the assassination of Caesar, allowing the crowd to have a sense of anger towards Brutus. Antony also uses pathos in his speech when he says "How dearly Caesar loved him!" (III, ii, 183). This also appeals to pathos because he is talking about how much Caesar loved Brutus, and he cannot understand why Brutus would do such a thing. It is effective because it makes the plebeians angered with Brutus somewhat if not fully angered. Antony uses these details to gain a sense of pity and sympathy from the plebeians. Antony used pathos to make the plebeians start to change their mind by the use of pity and

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.

Brutus speaks to the citizens of Rome to tell them why he killed Caesar, so that they will not turn on him. He talks about how he killed Caesar, not for his personal wants, but for the good of Rome. He tells the people that allowing Caesar to rule and fulfill his

Brutus, a conflicted senator obsessed with his civic duty, convinces the people of Rome that his motives in killing Caesar were just and noble by rhetoric. Brutus is the only conspirator to have impersonal motives in killing Caesar. In fact, his motives are trying to find the best solution for Rome, and in the end, he must make the hard choice of killing his best friend for his homeland. As early as Brutus’ conversation with Cassius in Act I, Brutus exhibits this deep love and respect for Rome and how this love is conflicting with his love for his friend, Caesar: “[P]oor Brutus, with himself at war, / Forgets the shows of love to other men” (I.ii.51-52). Brutus brings up this internal conflict again when he tells the crowds that although he did love Caesar, he loved Rome and its people more. After Brutus’ murder of Caesar, he realizes that the issue of the public opinion of Rome is of the utmost importance. Because of this love for Rome, Brutus uses rhetoric to persuade these plebeians to approve of him and his cause. When Cassius warns Brutus about “how much the people will be moved / By that which [Marc Antony] will utter[!]” (III.i.252-253), Brutus tells Cassius that letting Marc Antony speak “shall advantage us more than do us wrong” (III.i.261). In these cases, Brutus demonstrates his awareness of
