Julius Caesar Friendship

He tries to ally himself with the people labeling them as friends and fellow Romans. Starting out on a sincere note that will earn him respect from the crowd. Following this, Antony urges the crowd to join him in mourning Caesar, and eventually, he is overcome with distress. After regaining his composure he goes on to tell them that Caesar had been silenced, and he expresses dissatisfaction that the crowd wasn’t mourning with him. He puts the idea of rebellion in the minds of his listeners, but he urges them not to act on it.

Antony knew facts that the crowd didn’t know. He could’ve easily called out Brutus or Cassius, but decided to be the bigger man. Antony didn’t want to start another war, so he decided to keep the knowledge he had to himself and tell the crowd he knows things they don’t. Antony also expressed, “You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?

”(56 A. 11). Translated in English, Eutropius more or less records that, “ they[Octavian and Antony] fought against them[Brutus and Cassius]. Antonius and Octavian were defeated in the first battle,...”. Despite this first loss, Antony and Octavian were able to defeat Brutus and Cassius, and were able to bring some order back to Rome. If they had not been so determined and had not continued to fight again Brutus and Cassius, who knows how Roman history would have gone.

Particularly when Caesar sees Cassius and Brutus talking and he worries something might happen political from how he knows them personally, he talks about how they are smart and a great observer, but that he also power hungry (l ii 221). Caesar is mixing what he thinks of them as a person and how he acts as a senator. This is a prime example of how relationships struggle when business and personal mix. Another famous example if when Caesar says “Et tu, Bruté?” this is the last thing Caesar says, which

Within Antony’s speech to the Romans he uses anaphoric text to spike a whirl of rage towards Brutus. Repeatedly Antony states “Brutus is an honorable man” emphatically for the duration of his speech to contradict Brutus’s nobility ( March Antony, Lines 83,88,95 ). Before Antony begins his speech he is approached by the Romans with comments to not speak bad on Brutus’s name, which is why he utilized the anaphora to repeat that Brutus is an honorable man therefore allowing him to gain the Romans trust to speak. Antony does not say these lines truthfully but sarcastically to make the people of Rome feel furious against Brutus for taking Caesar to his mortal death.

”(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

Antony uses rhetorical appeals and techniques in his speech to turn the people of Rome against those conspiring against Caesar. As a result, the people see Antony as a persuasive and strong leader of Rome. Antony opens his speech at Caesar’s funeral by using ethos to present himself as a credible source and a friend of Caesar. Antony states his purpose in the beginning of his speech by starting with “I come to bury

A quality all humans possess is questioning leadership. The reasons why we challenge or rebel against our leaders describe what kind of individual we are. Cassius and Brutus have different reasons for questioning Caesars power. Both characters have a common goal but exceedingly different values, thought process, and motives for killing Caesar. Cassius and Brutus are characters who have opposite values.

And I must pause till it come back to me" (III.ii.107-109). Antony reveals his sentiments about Caesar’s death. By proclaiming his own feelings, Antony is trying to evoke compassion from the crowd. Antony establishes his love for Caesar, which tells his reason for defending Caesar. Since the crowd respects and trusts Antony, the audience members will also express feelings of sadness for Antony because of empathy.

Marc Antony gives his speech at Caesar’s funeral to the citizens of Rome. The purpose of his speech is to prove to the citizens that Brutus is wrong and Caesar shouldn’t have been killed. The tone of his speech is very ironic. It also gets very dramatic as he talks about Caesar being killed.

In this scene Caesar has been murdered by the conspirators including Brutus. Brutus is one of Caesar's good friends who is driven by honor; who thought Caesar’s ambition was going to be the end of Rome. Antony is a very loyal friend of Caesar’s who does not agree with the conspirators. Brutus and Antony are both smart well thought out characters. They desire to persuade the commoners to their side of the situation.

Antony speaks to the citizens and is able- without angering the people further, making them hate him, or dishonoring Brutus openingly- to convince them that the conspirators are in the wrong. He does this in a number of ways, all proving him to be very convincing and intelligent. Antony helps the people of Rome remember the good Caesar has done for Rome, and reminds them of how he denied the crown offered to him three times. He shows them the body of Caesar, emphasizing the holes and blood, saying, "Look, in this place ran Cassius' dagger through: See what a rent the envious Casca made: Through this the well-beloved Brutus stabb'd;" Act III, Scene II of Julius Caesar.

In William Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony wants revenge on the conspirators who killed Caesar. Following Julius Caesar's death, Mark Antony uses many different rhetorical devices such as pathos and ethos in his speech that help convince the Plebeians to go against the conspirators. Attempting to draw the emotions out of the plebeians, Mark Antony uses pathos to persuade them. Mark Antony says, “ My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me” (3.2. 106-107). This statement emphasizes how much Antony loved Caesar and the grief he is now feeling that his closest friend is dead.

Intro: “Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous” as Frank Herbert once said. People may manipulate others to do their biddings in order to achieve their personal goals. No matter how hard it is, manipulators eventually reach their prey. This is the plan Cassius uses to initiate his final plan, to kill Caesar.

These decisions include Brutus ignoring Cassius’s suggestion to kill Antony, along with Caesar because Antony is a close friend of Caesar. Caesar trusts Antony very much and it is a good suggestion to kill Antony along with Caesar. Cassius also told Brutus that Antony should not speak at Caesar’s funeral, but Brutus did not listen and allowed Antony to speak at the funeral. Because Antony was allowed to speak at the funeral, he was able to persuade the citizens and have them turn against Brutus and the conspirators. Brutus also made the decision to go Phillipi and fight Octavius and Antony, however, Cassius warns Brutus making that decision would be bad and they should let Octavius and Antony come to them.
