Julius Caesar Ethos Pathos Logos

In the play, Mark Antony is seen attending the great Julius Caesar’s funeral along with the Romans. After finding out the conspirators murdered his noble friend, Julius Caesar, he attempts to sway the crowd without the conspirators noticing. In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Shakespeare uses logos, pathos, and irony to persuade the Romans to acknowledge that Caesar was honorable. Firstly, Shakespeare relies upon logos in order to persuade the Romans that Caesar was honorable.

He persuades the people by letting them know that he emotionally sides with Caesar. “For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel. Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him! This was the most unkindest cut of all, For when the noble Caesar saw him

To start off his speech, Antony uses ethos to gain the crowd’s trust, then, later, to turn them against the conspirators.

He tells the crowd how Caesar died and told them to crowd around Caesar and look at him, “Look, in this place ran cassius’ dagger through” see what a rent the envious Casca made: Through this the well-beloved Brutus stabb’d and as he pluck’d his cursed steel away, Mark how the blood of Caesar follow’d it, as rushing out of doors, to be resolved. If Brutus so unkindly knock’d , or no; For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel; Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him!” (lines 177-183). Antony does this point to how close Caesar and Brutus are .

When Brutus states, “Believe me for mine honor, and have respect to mine honor that you may believe. Censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses that you may the better judge.” , this allows the audience to believe that he didn’t do anything wrong. The mob knows that he knows what he did and that he probably had a reason because since

The crowd of grieving citizens demands answers after Caesar’s brutal murder. Brutus and the conspirators commit this killing, and it is up to Marc Antony to convince the crowd of their guilt. In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Antony addresses this crowd of grieving citizens with a specific goal in mind. In this compelling speech to the Roman citizens, Antony argues Brutus’ innocence by utilizing ethos, logos, and pathos, ultimately convincing the crowd to turn against the conspirators. To begin, Antony strengthens his credibility by incorporating ethos in his speech.

“The dint of pity: these are gracious drops. Kind souls what weep when you but behold”(III,6,3) The logos used in this shows the logic of Caesars soul. The intention was to show ceasar and get the crowd's reaction and to upset them. It was also supposed to be an eye opening experience.

He uses this to show the people that he can be trusted. By using this method, the people know that he is one of them, so he will not be a power-hungry politician, and speaks the truth. This is effective because the Roman citizens are more likely to listen to someone like them than Brutus, who is very high in power.

”(III.i.148-150). When encountering Caesar's dead body on the ground, Antony was filled with many mixed emotions, but rage exceeded them all. Furthermore, when faced with speaking at Caesar's funeral, Antony says “My heart is in my coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me”(III.ii.105-106). Antony is heartbroken from the loss of his best friend when speaking at the funeral, he also realizes that this is a perfect opportunity to begin his master plan of bringing Rome a rightful

In his emotional speech to the crowd of mourners attending Caesar’s funeral, Antony utilizes ethos, logos, and pathos to argue that Brutus and the conspirators are traitorous, lying murderers, and they deserved to be killed for what they had done to Caesar. Doing so forces his audience to realize they are being

In William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, the tragedy of Julius Caesar’s death occurs. Mark Antony and Marcus Brutus each gave a funeral speech. While both the speeches were well spoken, Mark Antony’s ended up being the better speech. Antony’s better use and variety of ethos, pathos, and logos, his use of figurative language, and the comparison between Antony’s and Brutus’s speeches proves that Antony’s speech is in the end better than Brutus’s speech. Antony’s speech uses ethos to show everyone around him that he is their friend, and he understands what they are going through; also Antony uses ethos to get the citizens to listen to him, because while Brutus says he is honorable, Antony says that he is with them and where they stand in

First, Brutus uses ethos to justify that his “love to Caesar was no less than his” (III.ii.19). This manipulates the Plebeians into believing he and Caesar have a strong relationship. It also brings the Plebeians compassion and lets them know there is love between them even in his death. Pathos is also used by Brutus to honour Caesar through “tears for his love, joy for his fortune, honour for/ his valour, and death for his ambition.” (III.ii,27-28).

First, Antony grabs the people 's’ attention and tells them to hear what he has to say before he begins. For example, Antony says “Believe me for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that you may believe” (3.2). Antony is convincing the crowd that he is an honourable man and reminding them to keep an open mind before judging him. The suggests that Antony believes the best way to get through to the people is to tell them his purpose of his speech and that he wants to people to try and hear him out to get everyone thinking the same thing. In the hope that the people stand

In the play, Antony displays that loyalty to one man can easily turn into greed when a person feels like they have power through manipulation. Antony as a character is run by a single cause, which is loyalty to Julius Caesar. An example of this is when he gave his soliloquy about Caesar’s death and the men that killed him. His words were self-controlled until the conspirators left, and when they did, he shouted: “Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice / Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war, / That this foul deed shall smell above the earth / With carrion men, groaning for war.”

But Brutus says he is an honorable man… when that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept… yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man...” (Shakespeare, 49) by repeating that Brutus is an honorable man, made the Romans start to question and disagree with his
