Question

What are the major differences in Brutus and Antony's speeches? Write two paragraphs that describe their use of persuasive appeals, comparing and contrasting their speeches. Provide specific examples from the text to support your point. Use proper spelling and grammar.

Answer 1

Brutus
Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my
cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me
for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that
you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and
awake your senses, that you may the better judge.
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
Caesar’s, to him I say, that Brutus’ love to Caesar
was no less than his. If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
– Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;
as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was
valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I
slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his
ambition. Who is here so base that would be a
bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended.
Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If
any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so
vile that will not love his country? If any, speak;
for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.

Answer 2

Antony
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men—
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wep

Answer 6

I feel that the Antony speech maybe would've been more moving. First off, the murder of Caesar was a traumatizing one (they stabbed him like twenty seven times or somthing). I would've been on the conspirators sides if they haven't done it so brutally. IT seemed as if though they did it out of their own pleasure. Who stabs someone twenty seven times? Brutus's speech discusses how he loved Caesar (even though he stabbed him, again, twenty seven times) and how he did it for the good of Rome. With an ambitious ruler like Caesar, Rome would've become slaves to him. However, Antony's speech says how he loved Caesar like all of Rome and how he had helped all of them and how Brutus was a "honorable man" (sarcasm ). I wouldn't have been moved by Brutus's speech because i had KNOWN what had happened during the murder. I witnessed it. And how different it was from out of love for Rome. It seemed more like out of hatred for Caesar.
