Marc Antony and Brutus Speech
Pathos
By Emmanuel Azuara
And Diego Cortes
- Marc Antony's Pathos is; Ex 1"Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears." , Ex 2 " When the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept." to show compassion or them to feel sorry, Ex 3 “He was my friend, faithful and just to me.” this shows Caesar was a man who is trustworthy and it wasn't fair to kill him.
- Brutus' Pathos is " Not that i love Caesar less but that i love Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than Caesar were dead to live all free men?"
Claim
- Brutus' claim was that Caesar was becoming too ambitious and would make Rome crumble.
- Marc Antony's claim was that Caesar was not ambitious and Brutus did wrong in killing him. An Example is "I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?"

- The Purpose for Brutus was to calm the people down, and explain why he killed Caesar.
- The purpose for Marc Antony was to convince them that Caesar wasn't ambitious and Brutus was wrong for killing him.
In our opinion Marc Antony was a better speaker due to the fact that he gave vaid examples of Caesars greatness and convinced the people of Rome Brutus did wrong in killing him.
