    In his play Julius Caesar, Shakespeare employs various rhetorical strategies such as direct address, repetition, and apostrophe in Antony’s eulogy to convince the crowd into believing that Caesar was a good ruler. His excellent use of rhetoric begins before he starts his speech through the establishment of familiarity. Before Antony begins his speech, he refers to the crowd as “friends, romans, [and] countrymen” to establish a personal connection, indicating the use of direct address (3.2.82). By referring to the crowd as “friends,” Antony removes any separation between him and the audience, establishing a close bond by choice.

    In William Shakespeare's, Julius Caesar, rhetorical devices are used throughout Decius Brutus’s speech to Caesar to persuade him to attend the senate, and ultimately meet his demise. Decius Brutus uses repetition to directly play into Caesar’s ego and convince him to show at an event he was previously very unsure of. Decius first uses repetition to make Caesar feel as if he were an irreplaceable addition to the senate. He addresses Caesar as, “most mighty Caesar…” (2.2.74) multiple times throughout his oration. The repetition of “mighty” draws Caesar’s attention away from the fact that he really must not go to the senate and instead focuses on why he must. Caesar is known to be easily persuaded by the promise of attention or rewards. Decius

    Rhetoric, diction and structure are all powerful tools commonly seen being used by people to persuade and manipulate or to justify and calm, to name a few. These literary devices are so powerful that they have the ability not only to sway one person 's thoughts but even perhaps the populace. In William Shakespeare 's Julius Caesar I believe that Act 3 Scene 2 can serve as commentary on the cycle between democracy and dictatorship. Even though there is no need to restructure the scene as the language stands out for itself the way it is, rearranging the structure of the scene allows the dichotomy in language to stand out. I believe that deconstructing and reconstructing Shakespeare 's language does not

    1039 Words  | 3 Pages

    Brutus's and Antony's Speeches in Julius Caesar. & nbsp; William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is a tragic story of the dog and the manger.  After Caesar is killed Mark Antony, a good friend of Caesar, plots to revenge his bloody death.  He knows there is strength in numbers, and through a speech at Caesar's funeral, Antony plans to win the crowd of Rome and turn them against Brutus and the other conspirators.  Cassius is one of the leading conspirators and is weary of Antony; Brutus is confident that in message but similar in delivery, move the emotions of the people.  Brutus's and Antony's speeches differ in length, have similar ways of keeping the crowd's attention, and differ in tone.  & nbsp;                The first and most obvious difference in the two funeral orations is their lengths.  Brutus's speech is composed of 403 authoritative words; whereas Antony' on the other hand, has much more to say than Brutus anticipates.  His speech is split into six lengthy sections.  First, Antony counters what Brutus says by proving that Caesar was not ambitious.  The next two parts deal with Antony's finding of Caesar's will and Antony giving a little taste of what it contains.  Then, Antony sways the crowd's emotion from curiosity to pity when he tearfully re storm the houses of the conspirators, Antony brings them back to the will and tells them what Caesar has left for them, the people of Rome. & nbsp;                    Despite these drastic differences, the two orations are similar in a way essential to their effectiveness.  Brutus and Antony demand audience participation by asking questions and making comments they know will spark fire in the hearts of the Roman people anyone to defy him, ".I pause for a reply" (Act III, scene ii, lines 34-5).  The people reply, "None, Brutus, none!" (Act III, scene ii, line 36).  Once he knows he has won the people, Brutus states that he has the same death for himself (the same death as Caesar) when it will benefit Rome.
