Malicious misleads bent upon the manipulation of the many, even the few, justify no reason, even when it is destroying the idea of a treason. Lies used as some type of tool, like propaganda, hast no reason to be, only to alienate shall it see. Shakespeare, (from 1564-1616), wrote plays of such grievances as the horrors of tragedy, yet also as thee showed after lying the facts of what could be after the actions of the manipulative humanity in front of the reader’s pondering noses. Antony, of the scornful mind, only sees manipulative thought, yet as that besets the minds of the many, Brutus the honorable man, for the people, is forced by the many idiotic cites of humanity, alienation and retaliation. Antony with his might of mouth, burns with …show more content…
With Antony’s loud angry voice he proclaims “Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it” (Shakespeare, 656). He using the reference for which is of authority, reminds the noblemen of what might concur while authority is lost among thieves of life. Tis’ this he uses to undermine Brutus’s authority. “But yesterday the word of Caesar might have stood against the world; now lies he there. And none so poor to do him reverence” (Shakespeare, 656). Anthony, using guilt from the death of power, proclaims his point showing the body although not mournful. Although acting mournful he contradicts his own feeling, which is to take the throne under his dead master’s hands, and instead chooses to show the death of Caesar in a mournful eye. Yet although tried by Antony, Brutus brings a point before Antony’s reign of thought “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more” (Shakespeare, 655). Brutus, like his own feeling, incites the emotion gathered by his own honor. Appealing to Rome and his democracy that he lives under, appeals to it’s ultimate power, for the people, by the people… Although through the people’s actions, Antony uses misleading phrase to justify his thought and to trick the conspirators …show more content…
As Antony he reverses that of which is logical and true, he states “I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him” (Shakespeare, 656) . Reversing the logical plain, Antony misguides the Conspirators and countrymen with what is plainly seen as a lie. Lying, is what destroys his words yet seps them to what he needs, though destroys everything when logic is present.“I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, but here I am to speak what I do know” (Shakespeare, 656). Then knowingly through the crowds of men, Antony uses the lie. Lying through his own skin he peals the truth and burns himself with his contradictory phrases. Yet as forth thought, Brutus negates what Anthony says with what is true “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?” (Shakespeare, 655). Through Caesar’s death, the countrymen are all free from terrible misgivings and cruel, ambitious tyraids, as stated by Brutus. With truth Brutus uses logic to help take hold of what the countrymen see. Brutus's use of logic and circumstance to uphold his point and his people, helps him give a good range of individual backbone, and logic to his
Brutus uses the appeals of Ethos, Pathos, Logos to manipulate the thoughts and feelings of the plebeians to join Brutus’
The motivation behind Antony’s actions was completely selfish as he wanted to defend and avenge Caesar, gain power by giving himself credibility as Caesar’s right hand man, and unleash utter chaos in Rome by invoking civil war. Antony’s speech was able to completely reverse the effects that Brutus’ speech had simply because people care more about what agitates their emotions, rather than what logically makes more sense to
Julius Caesar: Analysis of Tone in Funeral Speeches MLK, Jr. once said, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends” (Goodreads). In the play Julius Caesar written by William Shakespeare, actions and words are used and spoken against a friend and a rival contributing to the assassination of their fellow friend Caesar. Two people that were very close to Caesar speak out against each other during their funeral speeches. Brutus, who is a “friend” and also a conspirator against Caesar, and Antony who is a very loyal friend to Caesar, use several rhetorical and literary devices as they create tone of proud assertive and defiant manipulation to get the Roman citizens on their side.

In Antony's speech, Antony says “Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me; But Brutus says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honorable man.” Antony uses logos to start convincing the audience why Brutus is wrong. Next Antony uses pathos when he says “ You all did love him once, not without cause; What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?” , the he continues to say “ My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it comes back to me.”
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 Antony’s speech to the people, he speaks about Caesar over his dead body. His words make the commoners feel something, as opposed to Brutus,
At the funeral, both of Caesar’s friends, Brutus and Antony, made a speech. In Brutus’s speech he was very concise and was saying that he did it all for Rome. Brutus used logos and ethos in his speech. To fortify his speech, he used logos which is logic and reason. In his speech, he says listen to my reasons and he goes onto his reasons that Caesar would have become ambitious and enslaved them all.
Brutus believes that Caesar will do more harm than good to the people, and reap benefits for himself. Brutus has already said this, but had said it in his own words, (II, i, 12-14). He has no clue if Caesar will use his power for the good and betterment for the people, or use it for his own needs and other
Brutus and Antony use ethos, logos, and pathos in their speeches to convince the commoners of their side of the story. One person just so happens to be more convincing than the other. Using ethos,
Such men are dangerous” on pg. 6, which meant by saying that Caesar is a great king but those who are ruling the city are very dangerous for the poor people. And another quote “ and keep us all in servile fearfulness” pg.3 that means that person in the city who are in servile they being afraid and having fear from the king of the city who is next to rule the city. Brutus who is a noble man wanted to serve his city and help his people. And one f the reasons he went against Caesar because, he loved his Roman Citizens.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious…” (Shakespeare 3.2.90-97.). Antony knows that if he gives the people reasons to love Caesar that they will turn on Brutus. The power his words have over them turn the plebeians on all Brutus has said and makes the people want to kill Brutus for taking away dear Caesar.

// I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts: //… But as you know me all, a plain blunt man //… For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, // … I only speak right on” (JC, 3.2.210-225) clearly expresses his self-love and his adaptability as he paves the path for his own political interests by cleverly playing it respectful of the conspirators yet turning the Romans against them while keeping his position completely neutral and safe. On the other hand, Brutus’s use of appeal to logic, unlike Antony, at his eulogy for Caesar’s funeral, “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more //…
Brutus delivers his speech in a laudatory manner by conveying Caesar’s deeds and claiming he was ambitious, although Antony contradicts Brutus’ claims and says Caesar spurned the crown with the intent to merely rule as a de facto dictator. Brutus’ speech reveals his motives were truly for the benefit of Rome given his nationalistic tone and Antony’s speech was merely used to obscure his true motives, which was to embroil Rome in a series of civil wars to attain power. Brutus and Antony’s speeches consisted predominantly of Pathos and Ethos, but it is Antony who ultimately it is Antony who prevails because of his almost disingenuous attitude and even use of Logos which is seen when claims that reading Caesar’s will would dishonor his compeers and even Caesar
