Examples Of Ethos In Julius Caesar

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

Antony uses his speech as a way to counteract everything Brutus states and to win over the people. Antony's credibility is being Caesar's friend and not once backstabbing him in the back like Brutus did. Antony is able to prove to the people that he is an honorable man as he did not go against Caesar and was a true friend to him. He relies on repetition as a way to get his point across and facts to counteract Brutus' claims. He states how although Brutus claims that Caesar was ambitious his actions do not prove that to be so as he cared for the poor and treated them with kindness, paid for the ransoms of prisoners, and declined the crown three times in a row, "He hath brought many captives home to Rome/ Whose ransom did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?

Brutus gives a speech before Antony, but misunderstands the way he is supposed to use the rhetorical devices, especially pathos (Anderson 831-835).  Pathos, which is the appeal to emotion, is the most effective rhetorical device out of them all. Antony mainly uses pathos to persuade the crowd, meanwhile Brutus mainly uses logos and ethos.  Antony's speech succeeded to convince the crowd in his favor, because most importantly, he succeeded to capture the crowds emotions.

However, brutus says, “I slew my best lover for the good of Rome”(brutus section 8) trying to make the crowd feel bad for him. That is a good reason why brutus might have the better speech, however Mark Antony’s speech is superior to brutus’s because he uses rhetorical questions to plant seeds of doubt into the crowds mind. By asking the crowd rhetorical questions, he slowly starts to undermine brutus’s

He makes it clear that, in his opinion, Caesar should not become king because he would not be able to hold the qualities of someone with that great amount of power. In order to convince the Plebeians to side with him, Brutus uses a variety of rhetorical appeals to persuade them.

Brutus believes he must put his own personal self and relationships behind for the betterment of Rome, leading to the people turning against him. One of the first examples is when he was brought the concept of killing Caesar, after much thought and deliberation he decides he must put away his own relationships for the betterment of his country. “O conspiracy, Sham'st thou to show thy dangerous brow by night, When evils are most free? O, then, by day Where wilt thou find a cavern dark enough To mask thy monstrous visage? Seek none, conspiracy. Hide it in smiles and affability; For if thou path, thy native semblance on, Not Erebus itself were dim enough To hide thee from prevention.” (2.1.84-93) He knows that by doing this act he will inflict consequences of a great degree upon himself, but he knows he must do it for the betterment of Rome. He then

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.

Cassius, Brutus, and Antony use rhetoric successfully in William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, albeit each differently and for different causes. Each of these men uses his skills in rhetoric to convince each other and at some points the entire population of Rome to follow his beliefs. However, each of these men has different motivations to do so, as well as different characteristics and general worldviews.

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’

Although both characters use analogies, parallelism, loaded words and hyperboles, their speeches convey very different
