Brutus and Antony both had very good speeches and both presented them very well. Both of their speeches had good examples of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. A good example of Brutus using Ethos is when he tells the people to believe him because of his honor and that they should also have respect for his honor. When Antony first starts off his speech he doesn’t tell the people to trust him. He simply asks them to just lend him their attention and to listen to what he has to say. These are both good examples of Ethos but I think that Antony would be more appealing to the people. I think this because he doesn’t just tell them to trust him because of what he has done or because of his honor, but to just simply listen to what he has to say to them at the funeral. Both Brutus' and Antony's speeches had very little Logos in them but their speeches did have some in it. Some true things that Brutus talks about are when he speaks …show more content…
Some examples of Brutus using Pathos in his speech are when he talks about how he slew his best friend for the good of Rome and for the good of the people. Also some more examples of Pathos in Brutus' speech is when he talks about how he has the same dagger for himself whenever the Roman people call for his death. Antony has some Pathos in his speech also that gets to the people in the crowd. Examples of Pathos in Antony's speech are when he talks about how his heart is in the coffin with Caesar and when he needs to take a second away because he has to go cry because of how upset he is. Some more examples of pathos in his speech are when he talked about how it wasn’t right for them to know how much Caesar loved all the people of Rome. In conclusion, I think that as I stated before, they both had very good examples but Antony had better examples because his got down more to the people's level and he really could connect with them and knew what they wanted to
The Author of the passage is debating, whether student athletes should be awarded monetary compensation for their contribution to teams that garner millions of dollars for universities. The author uses appeal to Logos and Pathos to build his argument on the subject, and to help persuade the reader to agree with the the argument they are trying to make.
Logos is using logic and straight up facts to make people think a certain way. Brutus uses logos when he says “Romans, countrymen, and lovers.” What Brutus did was he made the common people of Rome feel
Rough Draft “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.” - Antony. In William Shakespeare’s, “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar”, Brutus betrays Julius Caesar. He ends up being persuaded into joining the conspiracy against Caesar, in order to save Rome. The conspirators end up killing Caesar at the foot of Pompey’s statue.
Antony uses an abundance of pathos in his speech. One example is: “Caesar was my friend and just to me” (III, ii, 86). Using pathos helps the audience make connections with him. He also reads Caesar’s will which makes the people feel guilty about turning against Caesar during Brutus’ speech. He shows them the stabs wounds on Caesar’s coat and names which conspirator stabbed him. The Roman people now feel pity and anger towards the conspirators. Overall, Antony was smart with his words and won over the Roman people better than
Writers use pathos, ethos, and logos in their writing to appeal to their audience. Pathos is an appeal to emotions, ethos is an appeal to trust, and logos is an appeal to reasoning or logic. Frederick Douglass's, " What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" is about his views and the views of many slaves towards the Fourth of July. He uses ethos, pathos, and logos effectively to convey his central message.
Logos, ethos, and pathos are essential components used in advertising. By learning to recognize logos, ethos, and pathos in advertising, we are able to understand the message and what is being portrayed. (Albert et al, 2014), suggested that Aristotle postulated that a speaker’s ability to effectively convince an audience is constructed on how well the speaker appeals to that audience in three different areas: logos, ethos, and pathos. These appeals together form what Aristotle calls a rhetorical triangle.
To start his speech, Antony opens with some kind words about Caesar. Antony uses ethos by speaking kindly of Caesar and saying, “He was my friend, he was faithful and just to me” (line 81). Antony appears to be a honest and humble man mourning for his friend. By saying “Brutus is an honorable man” (line 83), Antony places himself on the crowd’s side because up to this point the crowd is in favor of Brutus. Antony has made himself seem more trustworthy which also utilizes ethos. He then continues to speak of Caesar’s great deeds that do not support Brutus’s claim of Caesar’s ambition. For example, Antony tells of Caesar saying, “He brought many captives home to Rome whose ransoms brought wealth to the city” (line 83). This is all Brutus wants Antony to say but Antony continues and asks the crowd, “Is this the work of an ambitious man” (line 89)? Antony is using logos to influence the Roman people because he provides a counterexample to the claims of Caesar’s ambition. Furthermore, Antony places doubt in Brutus by saying, “Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man” (lines 91-92). This use of logos allows Antony to prove Brutus wrong, even if he does not say it out loud.
In the Tragedy Of Julius Caesar, Brutus and Anthony both presented a speech to the citizens of Rome. Brutus argued why his actions to kill Julius were acceptable while Antony contradicted Brutus’s views, arguing why Caesar should not have been murdered. Both speakers used ethos, logos, and pathos to persuade the people of Rome. Brutus’s speech was mainly based on logic, while Antony’s speech took more of an emotional approach . Overall, Antony had a sophistic style, he was much more artful and cunning than Brutus. He reeled in the crowd like a fish and captured them with his compelling diction.
Marc Antony had the more convincing speech at Caesar's funeral. Antony used pathos and logos to make his speech more convincing. He also got the plebeians fired about and angry about the death of Caesar. Brutus however had a different approach to his speech.
By contrast Antony from Julius caesar heavily relies upon the power of language and its ability to exploit the human flaw that is emotion, and by doing so manipulate ones perception through a emotionally (pathos) driven argument. Antony has a greater understanding of the people and knows that they are passionate people who will be swayed by such talk. Also Antony unlike Brutus uses iambic pentameter this shows that he has a higher authority which would make the audience listen more carefully. After each argument Antony produces in Caesar’s defense, he uses irony through the lines “But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man”. This line is repeated a number of times creating an anaphora. As well as slowly dismantling Brutus’
During both Brutus’s and Antony’s speeches, they didn’t use much logos. Despite this, Brutus says: “The case for his death is on record in the capitol. His
When Antony tells the crowd about how much Caesar loved Brutus he was trying to change the crowds perspective of the type of leader Brutus actually is. In act three Antony says, “How dearly Caesar loved him.” , referencing Brutus the crowd began to get angry at Brutus. Why would someone kill their best friend when the best friend only loved them dearly. The crowd saw this and began to understand where Antony was coming from. Antony using ethos paid off because he was able to change the personnel image of Brutus. Antony uses logos when he brings out Caesar’s will.
Logos can be seen used by Brutus and Mark Antony, However Brutus was able to use logos more efficiently to appeal to the citizens. In particular Brutus used this rhetorical strategy to persuade the people to his side. Brutus’s exploit of logos can be examined as he says “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?” (45). From these lines Brutus uses logos as he gives all the citizens a logical reason for why he killed Caesar. Brutus uses logos to explain to everyone that if Caesar was alive everybody would be living as slaves rather than freemen. In contrast to Brutus, Mark Antony uses logos to support Caesar. Mark Antony utilizes logos to disprove the claim made by Brutus about Caesar being ambitious. Mark Antony use of logos
Brutus used repetition the most to influence the crowd. He states about Caesar’s “tears, love, and ambition.” Brutus also asked the audience rhetorical questions that they could not answer, and he would take their silence as if they were agreeing when in reality they were probably too scared to answer. Antony also used repetition to sway the crowd. He often pointed out that “Brutus was an honorable man” and he said it with more and more sarcasm each time. Antony also took advantage of the crowd and used reverse psychology on them. He used Caesar’s will as a tool to accomplish this. He told the crowd about Caesar’s will, telling them that they would think twice if they heard what was in the will, but he doesn’t read it to them. That made them beg for him to read it to them. Not only does this get them to do what he wants, it also give the crowd a false sense of authority over Antony. Also, he asks the crowd if he can come down and join them, saying they give him permission, again giving them that sense of authority. Antony, in addition to the will, used Caesar’s body as a prop in his speech. He created a sympathetic attitude towards Caesar. The other pathos appeal Antony used was the contrast that he showed between the beginning and end of his speech. He opened, saying he was only to “bury Caesar, not to praise him” yet towards the end he had accomplished his goal in making the crowd feel sorry for Caesar and wanting to
William Shakespeare’s use of Pathos in Mark Antony’s speech is clearly evident. In order to understand the concept and idea of Pathos, and for it to be effective, one must know what it is. The appeal of Pathos uses words or passages to activate emotions, and strike some sort of feeling in the audience’s body. If written effectively, the appeal of Pathos emits an emotional response from the audience. “My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me” (3.2.106-107). Antony elicits both sadness and sympathy from his audience. The death of Julius Caesar, and the use of Pathos is very important in winning over the audience’s appeal. Antony is obviously very angry with what had happened to Julius Caesar, due to the fact that Antony was a good friend with him. “And Brutus Antony, there were an Antony Would
