Julius Caesar is full of alliterative phrases that Shakespeare uses to suede the audience in a certain direction; his works thrive on emotion and he knows how to play off it. A perfect example of this is Mark Antony’s speech in Julius Caesar‚ after Caesar has been stabbed. However‚ a perfect counterexample would be Brutus’s speech‚ also from Julius Caesar.
