Mark Antony's Use Of Ethos In Julius Caesar

Antony’s speech paints Brutus as a hypocrite, when, ironically, it is Antony who is the true deceiver. Throughout his speech, Antony

Antony uses Ethos, Pathos, and Logos to adjust their view on Caesar and the reason behind his death. For example, Antony uses Ethos to state that he was granted permission to speak from such an honorable truthful man, Brutus, so anything he says can be taken truthfully toward the crowd. “With the permission from Brutus and the others-for Brutus is an honorable man; they are all honorable men- I have come here to speak at Caesars funeral” (Crowther 50-51). Antony uses Pathos to describe how miserable he is about Caesar's death.

Through the use of ethos throughout his speech, Marc Antony told the audience that he was a genuine friend of Caesar. In his own words, "He was my friend, faithful, and just to me." This serves to remind the crowd that he is a devoted friend of Caesar. By demonstrating his friendship with Caesar and expressing affection for him, he seeks a similar response from the people of Rome. He shown his regard for everyone and gained their trust by using ethos.

The assassination of Julius Caesar caused a lot of controversy and change in the minds of people in Rome. In the story, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, Mark Antony addresses the crowd of Romans at Caesar’s funeral to persuade the people to take his side and believe his word of what really happened to Caesar and why. In Antony’s ardent speech to the commoners in Rome during Caesar’s funeral, Antony logically makes use of ethos, logos, and pathos to argue that the people of Rome and supporters of the conspirators should trust him instead of Brutus. Consequently, this makes the people believe Antony and start a riot over the controversy. One way that Antony tries to convince the people to trust him is through the ethos

He evokes the crowds sense of liberty and dignity, appealing to their base desire to live as free men. this is the first step needed for the Romans to feel as though Caesars death was just. Antony appeals to the crowds sense of kinship with Caesar, "when the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept"(act 3, Scene 2, 5). He makes the crowd feel not like they had lost a ruler, but a friend. he reminds the plebian that Caesar was their kinsman and friend, a contrast to the contempt the plebians hold for the ruling class.

Ethos is the ongoing establishment of a writer’s or speaker’s authority and credibility. “They that have done this deed are honorable.” Antony shows an accurate citation of source from this quote. To elaborate, Antony was giving credit where credit was due, to Brutus and Cassius and the group of men that helped killed Caesar honorable. Brutus’s quote, I have the same dagger for myself, when it shall please m country to need my death,” analysis humility.

The Dishonorable Brutus In Mark Antony’s persuasive speech to the townspeople of Rome, William Shakespeare utilizes ethos, logos, and pathos to argue that the trusted Brutus and his conspirators that assassinated Julius Caesar are not noble, but envious and traitors to the Roman empire. First, Antony uses ethos throughout the beginning of his speech to persuade the townspeople of Rome that he as a source is credible- he begins with: I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him (3.2 71).

In William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," Mark Antony delivers a powerful and persuasive speech that serves as a masterclass in rhetorical techniques. Antony's speech takes place after the assassination of Julius Caesar, and he uses his oratory skills to sway the Roman people to his side and turn them against the conspirators. The first technique that Antony employs in his speech is the use of ethos. Ethos refers to the credibility and trustworthiness of the speaker. Antony establishes his credibility by reminding the people that he is a loyal friend of Caesar and that he is not there to praise Caesar's assassins.

In the play, Julius Caesar, by Shakespeare, Brutus and Antony utilize ethos, pathos, and logos in their speeches. They do so in various ways to get the Romans on their side. Every character has their own personality that allows them to react differently to certain things. Brutus refers to his honor to vindicate himself while Antony wants to avenge the murder of Caesar. Both orators appeal to their credibility and trustworthiness to get the mob on their side.

The crowd of grieving citizens demands answers after Caesar’s brutal murder. Brutus and the conspirators commit this killing, and it is up to Marc Antony to convince the crowd of their guilt. In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Antony addresses this crowd of grieving citizens with a specific goal in mind. In this compelling speech to the Roman citizens, Antony argues Brutus’ innocence by utilizing ethos, logos, and pathos, ultimately convincing the crowd to turn against the conspirators. To begin, Antony strengthens his credibility by incorporating ethos in his speech.

In Antony’s transformative speech to the crowd, Antony argues for Caesar’s innocence with the application of ethos, logos, and pathos. Doing so forces his audience into sympathizing with Caesar and regarding Caesar’s death with a perspective that the conspirators had not exhibited. First, Antony establishes his honor and trustworthiness with ethos.

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Caesar is killed by conspirators who fear for the safety of rome. Brutus who helped in the assassination tried to calm down the overlookers who had just witnessed the assassination by using logos and ethos by saying how it was logical for them to kill caesar saying the power would go to his head and we would become a dictator destroying rome. Using ethos by saying they will remember the “good times”, how they were great friends but it had to be done and as well saying that it was for the good of rome and the people which goes into a little more logos. Antony a “dumb jock” asked to speak but was asked to say nothing bad about anyone or anything but by using pathos he tried to make everyone believe that what

By doing this he appeals to the Romans and gets an emotional response. Lastly, Antony states in his speech “ For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar’s angel. Judge, O gods, how dearly Caesar loved him.” This is an example of ethos, because it makes the audience think about Brutus what type of person he

While Brutus spoke well, but had no real factual standpoint, Antony gave many examples of Caesar’s achievements. In his speech he uses Pathos, Logos, Ethos, and Situational Irony to sway his audience. He uses Brutus’ and Cassius’ precious honor and Caesar’s achievements against them, saying, “When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept./ Ambition should be made of sterner stuff./ Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,/ And Brutus is an honorable man” (3.2.90-93). In this statement and many other statements following the same pattern Antony degrades the honor and the arguments of Caesar’s ambition that were made by Brutus and the other conspirators.

In an effort to persuade the audience, Mark Antony in Shakespeare's play uses an ethos speech in Act 3 Scene 3. Julius Caesar, according to Mark Antony, is a very strong willed leader. The populace gives Julius
