Julius Caesar Ethos Pathos Logos

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

Mark Antony uses imagery, rhetorical structure, and tone all throughout his speech to turn the Roman citizens against the conspirators who killed Caesar. Antony opens his speech using imagery saying, “If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.” Not only is Antony using imagery in this section of his speech, but he is also using the rhetorical structure of pathos by telling the plebeians they should prepare to cry about a man that when Brutus was just talking they were resenting Caesar. Through the speech Antony uses a very sorrow tone. He also attacks Brutus and the other conspirators by calling them “traitors” at the end. Antony uses ethos when saying, “For Brutus,

Throughout his speech in Act 3, Mark Antony uses Pathos, Ethos, and Logos to subtly convince the commoners to turn against the conspirators. He uses Ethos, or the ethical appeal, many times throughout the speech, most notably in his first line; “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!” He is attempting to make himself seem more honorable from the very beginning of his speech. Throughout the rest of the speech, he constantly questions Brutus’s Ethos. Brutus, who was believed to be honorable, had not been questioned on what he said until Mark Antony began to contrast his word to Caesar’s.

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

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

       In William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, although Marc Antony is allowed to make a speech at Caesar's funeral, he must not speak ill of either the conspirators or Caesar.  Antony was infuriated with Caesar's assassination, and wants to seek revenge on his killers as well as gain power for himself in Rome's government.  He must persuade the crowd that has gathered that Caesar's murder was unjust, and turn them against Brutus and Cassius.  He tries to stir his listeners' anger, rousing them into action and yet say nothing bad about his enemies.  Marc Antony uses several persuasive devices in his speech, which allows him to successfully convince the citizens of Rome to turn

　　By keeping his listeners thoroughly engaged, Antony is able to further develop on his purpose by utilizing diverse rhetorical devices. Near the beginning, he makes effective use of parallelism to list Caesar’s selfless deeds, like “when that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept”, which gives the effect that the list is so long that Antony cannot describe it in unique detail. Additionally, his parallel repetition of “Brutus says he was ambitious and Brutus is an honorable man” serves as sarcasm. By repeating each good action with these two lines, Antony is getting the audience to contrast Caesar’s endless good deeds with Brutus’s repetitive and conflicting argument. Further on in the speech, Antony uses proslepsis somewhat obviously to reveal Caesar’s will to the people. He tells them that he found “a parchment with the seal of Caesar...tis his will”, yet quickly stops himself from telling anymore. Therefore, the audience is intrigued by the will and its mention reengages any listeners who

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.

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?

One of the rhetorical appeals that Antony used to sway the crowd against the conspirators was pathos. Pathos is an appeal using emotion. In line 20 Antony begins to use pathos when he states, “Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.” This quote is able to sway the crowd against Brutus and Cassius by showing what kind of good person Caesar was. He was compassionate to people. This quote shows what kind of good leader by helping out the poor. He knew what they were going through so he cried along with them. This quote is able to sway the citizens of Rome because it shows the opposite of what Brutus said about Caesar. If he would

He supports this claim asserting that Caesar was not ambitious or dictatorial and to tell what actually happened to Caesar. He uses a parallelism to appeal to pathos.”Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears”(Shakespeare Act 3). This further heightens Antony's connection with the Romans and that he actually cares about them so they should care what he says.

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

Antony wanted the people of Rome to regret their decision of trusting Brutus and the conspiracy because of how traitorous they were (Ridley-Elmes). He does this by praising Caesar. He speaks about the multiple great things Caesar has done and how he was to do no harm to Rome; that if Brutus was an honorable man, he would have let Caesar live and bring Rome to success. Even when he says all of these things, his heart still aches at this loss. He says “Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me.”

This theme surfaces in many ways throughout the soliloquy, specifically, when Antony promises to avenge Caesar’s dead and lifeless body. As soon as Antony witnessed the dead body of Caesar on the ground, he was very well greeted by the traitors and fake friends to Caesar. They had finally utilized friendship to incite their evil deeds to murder a great man, however, Antony was the only true friend to Caesar from the start to end. Therefore, Antony realizes that his own life is in outrageous risk due to his close association with Julius Caesar when he was in close contact with the killers. When Antony is separated from everyone else with Caesar's body, having gotten authorization from the honorable, Antony communicates the effective, powerful emotions he has been covering up.

Then he saw Brutus and he couldn't believe he was on in this . That when Antony was mad about the death of Caesar because he was the only true friend Julius had so he will get revenge on the conspirators who did that to him . Antony would prove to be a problem for the conspirators because he was clever on his actions and words towards them . He was a very good friend to Caesar even if the conspirators killed him . He was able to deceive Brutus and the other conspirators by being a smart speaker to gain their reliance for what they did to Julius .After a brief time in which he was sad for Caesar Antony stated to the conspirators Friend am I with you all, and love you all.”(3.1.220) this was his first step toward exacting his revenge by tricking them . He uses deceiving words to manipulate Brutus so that he can persuade him and put his worries bout where Antony stood them .Antony uses his great ability o manipulate through the entire speech to convince Brutus to let him give the speech at Caesar funeral and thinking that he is his friend he agrees with any hesitation. Then Antony gets to the platform and turns on the conspirators and uses his wise words to lure the people to lock up the conspirators.
