Why do you agree and disagree with this statement ?

Obviously the characters in Shakespeare's play find Mark Anthony's speech really convincing, but Shakespeare wrote the play so that they would. But if you were to remove the easily swayed audience and replace it with more objective audience, Mark Anthony's speech would still stand up as a convincing work of rhetoric.
