Marc Anthony Speech In Julius Caesar

After the conspirators killed Caesar, Antony spoke to the commoners explaining that killing Caesar was wrong and convinced them to retaliate against Brutus and the rest of the conspirators. Brutus and Antony were never necessarily friends or enemies until the death of Caesar when it became apparent that they’d be enemies till either one of them was dead. They both approached the public in a well-mannered way, but Brutus used his logic while Antony used his emotion and Antony ultimately winning over the commoners. Every part in this scene leads up to a greater ending of William Shakespeare’s Julius

During the third act after the assassination Brutus made a speech to the people explaining his reasons for the assassination believing he had made his point and was able to help the citizens understand and agree with him. He left believing he had pleased the people with his actions. Not realizing he had only touch the citizens emotionally and not pushed them to reason what the conspirators had done. Underestimating Antony as an opponent, Brutus has him give a speech following his, where then Antony takes over the discussion and leads the people against Brutus and

Antony says, “ He was my friend, faithful and just to me, (III, ii, 93).” This shows Antony had a close charitable relationship with Caesar, it also shows the crowd he was not such a selfish / ambitious person as Brutus claims. Antony continues with saying, “ When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept, (III, ii, 99).” Antony shows the people how genuine Caesar was and how deceitful Brutus is. Also revealing how ruthless the conspirators are. With an engrossed crowd, Antony says, “ You all did love him once, not without cause, (III, ii, 110).” People truly valued Caesar, this shows the crowd that what Brutus said, was to turn the people against Caesar. Antony uses pathos to show the people that Caesar was a positive influence and he was viciously

He wished the people to feel patriotic so they would agree with him. Brutus declared why he committed the “honorable” act, saying,”Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.”(III.ii.L21-22). He said this to appear as a protector of Rome. Antony wanted the public to love Caesar and feel sorrow from his murder. He sparked this when he said, “He was my friend, faithful and just to me.”(III.ii.L86). Brutus raised up the people to make them feel more important, he told them, “Censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses that you may the better judge.”(III.ii.L16-17). This made the public out to be smart enough to know what Brutus did was right and just. To compel the public to realization, though, Antony asked them, “You all did love him once, not without cause: what cause withholds you then, to mourn him?”(III.ii.L103-104. Antony asked the people why they stopped loving Caesar when they, before he was murdered, had every logical reason to praise

During his speech he asks,”I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?”( lll.ii.24-25). Then he answers his own question by saying,” Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know.”(lll.ii.23-29). Antony uses this rhetorical question to make the people question Brutus and his honesty, although he states this isn’t his intention. If Caesar was really so power hungry, then why did he refuse the crown? This is the question he wants the listeners to think about. He is trying to make Brutus sound selfish while also protecting

Brutus gets the crowd to listen to him and does not want him to die making them forget about Caesar make them not pay attention to Caesar. It is often argued that Brutus’s speech was more effective it is true he has a good speech but the opposing views claims Antony’s speech was more effective. Brutus did not get the crowd to riot how Antony’s speech does,and he did not make the connection to Caesar. Antony’s speech caused riots and made connections to Caesar so the crowd would love him like they did with Caesar.

To begin, Mark Antony's speech made so many people weep and cry. As Mark Antony tells everyone to not hold back from crying because this it was a painful lost. Act III. scene ii “ He was my friend, faithful and just to me, But Brutus is an honorable man.” As Mark Antony speaks, he tries to tell the people that it was Brutus who had killed Caesar. Act III scene ii “ I thrice presented him a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse.

Cassius didn’t want Caesar to be king because, he thought he was too weak and was just the same as everyone else. Because of his jealousy, he persuaded Brutus that he could be a better king than Caesar. Brutus thought he needed to kill Caesar for the better of Rome. He also thought that Caesar was too ambitious and prideful of his power. Brutus thought Caesar was going to use power wrongfully and make bad decisions. All of the conspirators helped him. Antony watched them kill Caesar, and was very upset. At the funeral Brutus and Antony spoke.

Brutus said in his speech during Act II, Sc. 2, “If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar’s, to him I say that Brutus’ love for Caesar was no less than his” (ln. 16-18). When Brutus says that, he pretty much tells the ROman citizens that, despite his previous actions against Caesar, he still loved and worshipped him like so many of his fellow Romans did. In Brutus’s speech he continually says that he loved Caesar. When Brutus keeps saying this he gets the people thinking that Brutus did what he thought was truly best for them. In Brutus’s speech he apologized to those that he offended by killing Caesar. BY doing this he makes the people think he had their best interest in mind when he killed

He claimed that Caesar was power hungry and would have made the people of Rome into "slaves". He says that he loved Caesar and that it was "not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more". This is an appeal to the logical side of the crowd, because all people value self preservation. His speech is also told in prose, which is unique. Brutus was Caesar's friend, which made his actions seem even more heinous to the crowd. The appeals that Brutus tried to use

Furthermore, they try to convince the public that they do not have interest in acquiring power (Velz 55). In particular, Brutus, a great friend to Caesar gives an oration to defend his action. For some few hours, the crowd is willing to attentively listen to him. In the middle of Brutus speech, Mark Antony begins to say his version of thoughts regarding the death of Caesar. To elaborate, Antony produces an eloquent and subtle speech about the death of Caesar.

Brutus tells Antony he will be announcing his crime to the public as a sign of his love for his country. Brutus speaks of Caesar at the funeral as ambitious, but too ambitious.
