Mark Anthony was Ceasar's Second-hand Man

Humanity has become the most dominant species on Earth due to our high intelligence and communication skills but our communication can also be used to easily manipulate and convince. This manipulation is shown when, Mark Antony delivered a deeply passionate and articulate speech at Caesar’s funeral, altering the political dynamics of the Rome in William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. Antony uses his words to influence the Roman people. He effectively uses rhetorical devices to prove his point and gain the support of the citizens. Antony also uses the rhetorical device of Pathos to invoke emotion in the crowd and Ethos to use Brutus’ and the conspirator’s reputation against them.

In his soliloquy, Antony praised Caesar’s great personality but at the same time, he would keep saying positive things about Brutus. An example is when he says, “He was my friend, faithful and just to me; / But Brutus says he was ambitious, / And Brutus is an honorable man.” (3.2.85-87). The way in which he spoke and by telling the citizens the context of Caesar’s will, turned the mob against Brutus and the rest of the conspirators. The anger possessed by the countrymen can be shown when a plebeian says, “Most noble Caesar! We’ll revenge his death!” (2.2.244). This betrayal by Antony caused Brutus to break off their friendship.

Mark Antony, in the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, was a brave, intelligent, pleasure-loving, and cunning man. He was loyal to his friend, Caesar, whom he considered a true friend. He looked at life as a game in which he had a signified part to play, and played that part with excellent refinement and skill.

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

Antony did not have such an elite status in his play up until Caesar died, but many peasants called Antony noble throughout Julius Caesar. For example, they said, "There's not a nobler man in Rome than Antony," (Shakespeare 3.2.114). Thus, Antony was considered noble even by the common man. His noble reputation was further established by his devout commitment to Caesar. Antony's loyalty to Caesar is first made apparent when he offers Caesar the crown. Casca exclaimed, "I saw Mark Antony offer him a crown," (Shakespeare 1.2.236-237) which is a simple gesture with a powerful message. It shows the people that Antony is no foe to Caesar and wishes to see his friend succeed as leader. No jealousy or scheme to overthrow Caesar was hinted at by Antony. Moreover, he vouched to die when Caesar did: "I shall not find myself so apt to die; No place will please me

Marc Antony is known in the play as the right hand man of Julius Caesar. After the death of Caesar, Antony is outraged and sad about the death of his dear friend. He wants revenge with the conspirators for what they have done. He asks Brutus, knowing he is an honorable

When caesar denied the crown not once not twice but three times, most people probably believed he was humble man who wanted nothing but good things for rome. But thats just not true, he did this so that the people of rome would lose their not so favorable opinion of him. It was nothing but a tactical move on his part that happened to work out for him. Now Mark Antony supported him through all of this thinking he was doing the right thing, which is no fault of his own but still doesn’t change the fact that he did it.

The speeches in Julius Caesar written by William Shakespeare takes place after the death of Caesar, the main characters consist of Brutus and Mark Antony. Both characters give persuasive speeches about how one thought Caesar was a tyrant and how the other explained how Caesar only wanted what's best for the people. The main purpose of both of the speeches we're to get the people of Rome on their side. In Shakespeare's tragedy of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony delivers a more effective rhetorical speech through his use of ethos,logos,and pathos.

It seems like he couldn’t wait to get the power Caesar had and was ready to take the power from Brutus. Rome was a nice place to take control of and he got the job done. In the text, Mark Antony walks in the room like he had

In the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Marc Antony changes dramatically throughout the play. In the beginning of the play, he is very a very good friend of Caesar, and he watches out for him. Antony is very loyal to Caesar and makes him happy.

128). Mark Antony can be found as noble and not noble. The kindness and friendliness fades out as the play continues, and he turns into a cruel, heartless person. He is loyal to Caesar and gives respect to Brutus after his death, but he starts a war and manipulates people to make it easier to avenge Caesar's death. Mark Antony is loyal to Julius Caesar which can be found as noble.

How loyal can one be to another? Mark Antony is Julius Caesar’s friend throughout the story. He is devastated about Caesar’s death.

Augustus raised a force of 3000 men from his “Father’s” veterans. But among the supporters of Caesar, Octavian also had a natural opponent - Mark Antony, the dictator's trusted lieutenant. Mark Antony was not at all like Octavian. He was a lot more attractive and physically stronger. Octavian had called upon Antony for help and support but was disappointed to find that he was jealous because Octavian had been named heir rather than himself.

On a slightly different note, Antony later expresses an opinion that causes the reader to question the validity of his earlier statements. “This is a slight unmeritable man, / meant to be sent on errands” (JC 4.1.13-14). While speaking directly to Lepidus, Antony seems to be remotely kind and friendly. However, once Lepidus leaves the room to complete Antony’s requests, Antony complains about him endlessly to Octavius... If he is capable of being that secretive of his true opinions about Lepidus, who is to say that he is not doing something of a similar manner whilst speaking of Julius Caesar? How can he be sure that his cover, word and plot manipulation, will keep everybody happy forever? There seems to be no one-hundred percent certainty that Mark Antony is truly a whole, good, and honest man.
