In a classic Shakespeare play‚ Julius Caesar‚ Antony and Brutus go toe-to-toe at Caesar’s funeral‚ although‚ to Brutus’ dismay Antony’s speech was better than his. Marcus Brutus makes his speech very formally to reason the mob for killing Caesar. Brutus appeals to the people’s minds and leaves an impression that Caesar would have become a tyrant. But What Brutus terms as his reason is a hypothetical situation and is not reason enough for killing Caesar. He does not provide any evidence to his statement

in order to be "free." Antony‚ who found no logic in the assassination‚ felt that he should avenge Julius’s death. He delivered a speech that convinced the Romans that the murder was unjust‚ invoking their rebellion. Brutus‚ leader of the conspiracy‚ gave a good address‚ but the Romans didn’t react to it as much as they did for Antony’s. A battle erupted‚ and most of the conspirators committed suicide.

exceptional adequate speaker? Brutus and Antony are both noble people that are both fair speakers in William Shakespeare’s play‚ Julius Cesar.

characters Brutus and Antony both make speeches at at Caesar’s funeral that display a great deal of meaning. Mark Antony‚ a dear friend of the recently-deceased Caesar‚ and Brutus – once a friend of Caesar‚ later his assassin – are diametrically opposed at the outset of these occurrences. Brutus gives Antony the opportunity to make a speech at the funeral‚ however‚ we find him under some rather serpentine conditions.

February 2013 Speech Analysis The speeches given by both Brutus and Mark Antony in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar are very persuasive to the audience that they are given to‚ but rhetorical devices were used in different ways in order for each to have an effect on the people of Rome.

Brutus and Antony both use different rhetorical techniques to persuade the crowd at Julius Caesar’s funeral. However‚ the arguments can be very different and one speech can be more persuasive than the other. Brutus’s and Antony’s speech have a different base on the same topic and both have a valid point in each. Brutus lectures about how Caesar is a courageous person.

However after allowing Mark Antony to not only bring in the corpse of their beloved Caesar yet also speak after Brutus during the funeral‚ it would seem that Brutus’ role in the murder was pointless. Both Brutus and Antony delivered powerful speeches using irony and rhetorical devices but one speech failed to deliver an essential connection with the crowd.

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

Antony’s speech at the funeral of Julius Caesar gave off a tone of respect and appreciation toward Brutus through use of his specific diction. However‚ the tone is sarcastic and suggestive. Antony makes reference several times to Brutus being an honorable man. After repetition‚ the word honorable loses it’s significance and become more of a joke. Not only does it lose it’s significance‚ but it is also mocking Brutus by discrediting what he had said. Mark Antony’s word choice throughout his speech is a
