    character. The key theme I have chosen from the play is betrayal and murder. Banquo was a brave and noble general and at that time was a great friend of Macbeth.

    Origins of the Theme of Betrayal in James Joyce’s Dubliners Throughout his early years‚ certain people and events heightened Joyce’s awareness of the hopelessly corrupt environment of Ireland that had betrayed so many of its own.

    Anthony’s speech was more persuasive than Brutus’ speech. Anthony tried a lot harder to persuade the crowd to see it from his point of view. He used ethics in his speech‚ constantly saying that Brutus is an honorable man to the point where the crowd begins to question whether or not Brutus really is honorable. He later turned that ethical appeal into sarcasm to condemn Brutus. Anthony used a really strong form of emotion at the end‚ saying that “his heart is in the coffin with Caesar.” And that made
