Julius Caesar Funeral Speech Essay

The funeral speech from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare that was the most convincing was Antony's Speech. For example, when Antony kept repeating ¨The noble Brutus¨, he meant it in a disrespectful way without really being disrespectful which made the common people angry. Antony did this in a way that persuaded the common people that Brutus and the conspirators were in fact not noblemen, but he said it in a sarcastic way. Another example is when he asked ¨Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?¨ and played his own words against him. This is another way that Antony showed how Brutus was not just looking out for Rome. A final example was when he said that ¨My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me.¨
