The styles of rhetoric used in Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, by Antony and Brutus.

            

             Brutus said in his speech that he assures any dear friend on Caesar"s that his love for him.

             was no greater then their love. Brutus tried to convince the crowd thathe murdered Caesar for the.

             good of the country by stating that he loved Rome more then Caesar. He wanted the crowd to.

             think that he killed his best friend for their benefit, he was sure this would put him on better terms.

             and his speech was defensive, he had to make up excuses for everything he did. He constantly had.

             being a grievous fault. He constantly stated all the great qualities of Caesar, and each time he.

             stated how Brutus is an honorable man. He is helping the crowd to realize how not honorable.

             Brutus was. Antony made the crowd miss Caesar, and they thought about how great a leader.
