The Use Of Parallelism In Julius Caesar

Decius over Caesar. ‘’Each betrayal begins with trust. ’-Martin Luther’ This quote shows how before any type of betrayal there is always trust.

The Roman senators all took part in betraying Caesar by murdering him. One of the main people involved, Brutus, held a funeral service for the deceased Caesar along with a brief speech. One of Julius Caesar's main companions who loved him dearly, Antony, also gave a speech that lasted much longer. After looking through the ethos, logos, and pathos mentioned in this story, it is obvious that Antony is more persuasive.

It would appear that the assassination of Julius Caesar was Cassius' idea and that it was he who persuaded others to join him. No doubt the other conspirators have had secret conversations among themselves, but these are not

Angela Lopez Ms. Keeling Honors English 2 4 March 2024 Rhetorical Analysis Essay The drastic efforts of Squealer and Brutus to gain control and manipulate were shown throughout Animal Farm and Julius Caesar. They twisted and employed their words to achieve deception. Animal Farm consists of an animal society that revolted against Mr. Jones and then created an equal and orderly society. That is, until Snowball, a key figure in the revolution, was driven out of the farm, therefore leaving Napoleon in charge. Napoleon abuses his power with the help of Squealer, which eventually leads to the same corrupt society they were once living in.

Brutus uses repetition mainly in the 4th and 6th paragraphs. He begins by asking who would want to be a slave because it is him who he has offended. He repeats this question of if you do not love Rome then that is who he offended. This emphasizes the idea that he killed Caesar for the good of Rome and its people for they should not be offended, it is those who live outside of Rome that love Caesar who should be hurt which is not very many. By really drilling this concept, the audience soon starts to believe it, therefore, persuading them.

By skillfully using rhetoric a speaker can persuade an audience to follow their beliefs by using emotions, logic and ethics. In the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, a group of men create a conspiracy to kill Caesar on March fifteenth and take control of Rome. They succeeded in killing Caesar by stabbing him and to justify their treason they say Caesar was a threat to Rome. On the other hand a man named Marc Antony, who was a close friend of Caesar, needs to persuade the romans that the treason unjust. Antony succeeds by making a powerful speech at Caesar’s funeral. As a skilled speaker he used uses rhetorical devices such as ethos which shows credibility or character, logos which shows a logical approach to the

Some might say that the ability to effectively persuade people to do things is one of the most useful qualities a person can possess. However, it can also be one of the most dangerous. In Julius Caesar, a play by William Shakespeare, a group of conspirators were plotting to overthrow Julius Caesar, who was poised to become the leader of the Roman Empire. Because doing this was a mission that would require a larger group of people, the conspirators attempted to convince people to support their plan and join the group. In doing so, the conspirators used tactics that appealed to both the logic and emotion of others.

In the Tragedy Of Julius Caesar, Caesar was soon to be crowned king, after defeating Pompey. Caesar becoming king wasn’t the best idea and interest in some of the people eyes in Rome because they don’t think he is worthy enough to hold that type of power. Cassius was mad at the idea of Caesar becoming king, so he began to plot a plan to kill Caesar. His plan to kill Caesar involved a good friend of Caesar, Brutus and other loyal men and conspirators to make his plan work. So Cassius began plotting by convincing Brutus to join him and it worked, which was all Cassius needed to get close to Caesar. When the day actually arrives for Caesar to be crowned king their planned worked as Casca was the first to stab Caesar, and Brutus being the last person to stab Caesar and to hear the last words spoken from Caesar. After all this went down, Brutus went and spoke to the crowd and explained what happened and why they killed Caesar before being crowned king. The crowd agreed at first about Caesar needing to be killed until Antony spoke which changed everything and the crowds reaction. Now that the crowd had heard Antony, they want to kill the conspirators and who ever had a part in Caesar’s death.

He senses the insecurity of the group when they suggest taking an oath to keep their promise. He believes that killing Caesar is the best option for the Romans, so he rebuilds their security of the cause. Brutus asks, “What need we any spur but our own cause to prick us to redress?” (129-130), pointing out that the oath is unnecessary, as the freedom for Rome caused by the death of Caesar should be enough to motivate them. It builds the group’s confidence in their cause and reminds them that what they’re doing is right. Brutus also asks “What other bond than secret Romans that have spoke the word and will not palter?” (130-132) to show that he trusts the men he is working with to take down Caesar. He does this to boost their egos because he wants them to internally confirm that they are doing what’s right, as they see other morally correct men acting for the same cause. Brutus then asks “And what other oath than honesty to honesty engaged, that this shall be, or will we fall for it?” (132-134), to give a final push to their egos. He claims that the only oath that should be taken is one for honesty, one to do the best for all citizens of Rome and have clear motives for the right intentions. This rhetorical question shows

In the texts Animal Farm and Julius Caesar, the authors use rhetorical devices such as pathos and ethos to help get the audiences in their stories to their sides. Animal Farm is a beast fable where farm animals free themselves from their human owners to become equal; however, the animals are set back when the pigs begin to oppress them just as badly as their human owners. In Julius Caesar Shakespeare, it shows how people can become terribly fearful when others have the power to gain extraordinary influence; this is displayed through Brutus, who loved Caesar but betrayed him due to his fear.

Caesar’s murder creates many conflicts between the people who admire Caesar and his killers, which leads to a full scale war. The battle between emotion and reason is exceedingly significant. Humans automatically have the ability to reason, or the power to think for themselves, but sometimes emotion masks reason. When emotion clouds reason humans tend to make unwise decisions. Omen imagery develops the idea that when people interpret events according to fear and desires, chaos results.

In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, speakers Antony, Brutus, and Cassius try to persuade an audience using rhetorical techniques and appeals. Brutus and Antony are good speakers, since they completely swayed their audience and used correct appeals, but they didn’t need to put in much effort. Cassius is the most skillful speaker because he focuses on emotional appeals knowing he cannot outsmart Brutus in logic. Cassius makes Brutus feel inferior to Caesar while aiming to gain his trust and get him onto his side. Cassius’s purpose is to get Brutus to join the conspiracy that was created to kill Caesar. Brutus is very educated, logical, and takes great pride in his honor. Also, he’s close to Caesar, which makes him a great figure to have on

In Shakespeare's tragedy Julius Caesar, Portia uses repetition, rhetorical questions, and parallelism in order to persuade Brutus to tell his secret. Portia uses repetition to get Brutus’ attention and to show him how much she wants to know the secret. Pleading, Portia urges, “I should not need, if you were gentle Brutus. / Within the bond of marriage, tell me, Brutus” (2.1.301,302). By using repetition she gets Brutus’ attention so he knows she is talking to him. If Portia did not repeat his name, Brutus would not be as inclined to listen to her. With Portia stating his name more than once he is focused on her and knows that what she is saying is vital. In this part of Portia’s speech she uses pathos. She persuades Brutus by bringing up their
