fended. 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.

Here, we may easily note that a consistent rhetorical device being used is anaphora, or a repetition of a certain word or phrase in success to one another. This is seen through his constant usage of asking who may be so low or vile to oppose the interest of Rome, that his action of slaying a man was justifiable as it was for honor and glory. He questions anyone in the room if they were low enough to think otherwise through a near repetition of rhetorical questions.
