Question

ASAP HELP PLEASE

How do Brutus and Mark Antony differ in their understanding of their audience, the Roman crowd?



I have to write out my answer so please make it understandable enough that I can put it into my own words. Thanks. c:

Answer 1

Both Brutus and Antony's speeches are used to try and convert the Roman public to their side. After Brutus and his fellow conspirators kill Caesar outside the senate, Antony meets with Brutus and manages to persuade him that he agrees with the reasons why they killed the dictator, so that he is allowed to talk at Caesar's funeral. However, his real intentions are revealed in an emotional soliloquy that reveals that he is desperate to avenge his close friend Caesar. Brutus sets one condition on Antony's speech- that he must not say anything against the murderers. Brutus uses his speech to convince that he has acted for the common good of Rome, whereas Antony tries to make the people avenge the death of his beloved Caesar.
