Brutus And Antony's Speech Comparison

The overlook of Brutus’s and Antony’s speeches are not similar at all in my eyes. Brutus’s speech was trying to show the citizens that there was no harm in killing Julius Caesar, which there was. Brutus partially manipulates the citizens by saying how much he really loved Caesar, but loved the city of Rome even more. The citizens were moved by his speech because of how protected they felt by his words. Brutus talks good of Caesar, saying how there are tears for his love, joy for his fortune, honor for his bravery, but then death for his ambition. He shows the crowd how it was for the better of them. On the other hand, Antony’s speech rowled up the citizens more than they were passionate about Brutus’s speech. Antony put more of an emotion in his speech to the people. He showed how incredible of a man Caesar was and even showed proof of his will. Obviously the crowd easily changed their opinions about the whole situation and Antony knew just what to say and do. Antony was calm about the whole speech even when the crowd was begging for him to read Caesar’s will. Antony blamed Caesar's murder
Brutus came out not knowing what he was going to get himself into and that’s probably why his wasn't as compassionate as Antony’s. Brutus trusted Antony and didn’t think he needed to compare his speech with anyone else’s. Antony’s speech connected with the citizens. His speech had emotion, hate, and revenge written all over it. Antony made pitty for Caesar by showing the people what Caesar had left for them. Antony knew what he was doing all along. He knew he had to get revenge on the conspiracers because they killed his friend, and this is what he had to do. Antony showed the citizens Caesar’s cloak and blamed each conspiracy for the murder. Throughout the whole speech Antony stayed calm and contained himself which is what the people want. Antony got what he wanted and he got it by having his speech win the people
