Ethos Pathos And Logos In Julius Caesar Rhetorical Analysis

The most common type of pathos that Antony used was in the form of sarcasm, which can be seen when he said, “The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious: if it were so, it was a grievous fault; and grievously hath Caesar answer’d it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest, (for Brutus is an honourable man; so they are all, all honourable men)” (III.ii.79-85). Antony’s emotional approach was completely effective on the crowd, and he was able to turn the people into a mob and start civil war by using reverse psychology. Antony uses reverse psychology by teasing the crowd with Caesar’s will, by constantly referring to the conspirators as honorable men, and saying that he does not want to turn the Romans against Brutus, even though he clearly does.

He uses pathos in more of a way to create fear and hostility among the people of Rome. He makes arguments against Brutus and his reasoning. Antony uses proof to show that what Brutus was saying was incorrect about Caesar being ambitious. In order to instill this fear within the crowd he starts off by saying, "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones. "

Antony manipulates the crowd, with their submissiveness in mind. Antony begins to make the crowd to question Brutus and his dialectic behind killing Caesar. The “honourable” men claim to have killed Caesar due to his ambition, however “on the Lupercal / I thrice presented him a kingly crown, / Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?”(3.2, 98-100, 50). Antony uses logos appeal by stating facts, which makes the crowd think for themselves, unlike they normally do.

The way Antony speaks about both Caesar & Brutus are a dispute of what he is actually trying to announce to the Romans. At the end of his speech, Antony hopes to reach the Romans emotionally (pathos) by enraging them against Brutus’s false statements against Caesar.

Antony convinces the Romans to retribute the conspirators’ for what they have done “In every wound of Caesar that should move the stones of Rome to rise and mutiny” (III.ii.225-226) Antony wants revenge and is convincing the Romans to riot by using pathos. Antony wants the Romans to feel sorry about Caesar’s death “here was a Caesar! When comes such another?”

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.

By refusing to read the will several times and admitting that what it contains will cause the people to have such a great love for Caesar that knowing he is now dead will be unbearable, Antony ignites curiosity in the people and furthermore, a subconscious feeling of respect and graciousness toward Caesar. Basically, Antony uses Caesar’s will to convince the people that Caesar was a selfless, kind-hearted man and those who killed him should be ashamed and punished for killing an innocent man. Through Antony’s use of paralipsis, he is able to plant a seed of admiration for Caesar and one of hate for the conspirators in the hearts of the plebeians.

Antony uses a lot of pathos because he wants the citizens to feel the way he is feeling. For example, he says he wants to read them the letter but he does not want to make them weep because of how much Caesar loved them.

The murder of Caesar was not noble nor honorable. He had murdered a really good friend. He didn’t want the crowd to believe that Brutus murdered Caesar for them and that he had other motives.

“Have patience, gentle friends, I must not read it. It is not meet you know how Caesar loved you. You are not wood, you are not stones, but men; and being men, hearing the will of Caesar, it will inflame you, it will make you mad.” (line #141-145) This phrase has a double meaning because Antony says it to purposefully inflame the crowd and get them rowdy because they want to hear what Caesar had to say in his will.

He also uses counterarguments in his speech/argument, Antony states, “The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and Caesar hath grievously answered it.” This is Antony countering Brutus’s claim which makes it a counter argument incorporated
