In examining the speeches that Brutus and Antony gave in Act 3‚ Scene 2 of Shakespeare’s play we are able to locate many different literary devices. We find that Brutus uses rhetorical questions on page 129 lines 30 to 34. He asks “Who is here so base that would be a bondman?”‚ “Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman?” and “Who is here so vile that will not love his country?”. Rhetorical questions are often used to put a thought into a listeners mind without that listener recognizing such

the murder of Julius Caesar and the power struggle between Caesar’s friends and enemies. In this essay I will compare and contrast Brutus and Antony’s speeches after Caesar’s death. Both Brutus and Antony’s speeches are used to try and convert the Roman public to their side.

Brutus’ decision not to kill Antony at the time may have been honourable but it was unwise in the light of things to come. Brutus’ honour and nobility initiated the mistakes he made that led to his tragic downfall‚ sparing Antony’s life being the most detrimental.

contrast the funeral speeches of Brutus and Mark Antony. Which is more effective and why? When Brutus goes up to speak to the crowd he appeals to them as “Romans” before all else.
