Julius Caesar
In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Decius Brutus and Mark Antony, both Roman Senators, characterize Julius Caesar, each using a different technique. Brutus attempts to sway the people. He justifies against Caesar by stating that Caesar's desires would have hurt Rome. However, in Antony's opinion, he focuses on Caesar's positive traits, and Brutus' disproves justification for killing Caesar. Some Romans may know how Julius Caesar was murdered, but the Romans can't decide who should replace Caesar, Antony or Brutus. The tragedy for Julius Caesar started at the celebration. Roman's are celebrating over one of their victories in the civil wars. The leader for that war was Caesar. Caesar is on his way to marry Cleopatra to be the king. Cassius and his group don't want Caesar to be king because of what he believes. Cassius want's Brutus to join his group to help murder Caesar. Calpurina tells Caesar not to go to the Senate House because that is where Brutus is going to kill Caesar. Caesar says that he is not going to be a coward and stay home, but to go to the Senate House. When Caesar arrives at the Senate House, Brutus' group surrounds Caesar and sta
He will allow the truth to speak for itself. This makes the crowd to believe him, as an honorable man. He said that he had to kill him because of Caesar's ambition. " He gets their attention by saying that he loved Caesar. Antony is using a dramatic effect on the people, first by entering on the stage with the body of Caesar, and at the end stating that his heart is still with the body of Caesar, ending his speech weeping. One is when he gave the ransom of captives to the public treasury and not his own, another when he cried with the poor people, and finally when he refused the kingship that Antony offered him. Brutus explains his actions by saying that he loved Caesar but, "Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. He then ask the question, "Who is here so base that would be a bondman?" After he asks this question, the people respond, " None, Brutus, none. " He repeats that statement three more times becoming sarcastic, saying finally, "Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and sure he was an honorable man. Brutus says that he never hurt Caesar, but he cried for Caesar's love. Antony then says, "I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke. The difference between Brutus and Antony opinion's, show us the importance of style of speech. " Since the people responded positively to Brutus' speech, Antony could not insult Brutus' honesty in a bad way. Mark Antony's opinion is more positive then negative.
