How did Antony ultimately win over the crowd? Write two paragraphs that describe his use of persuasive appeals, comparing and co
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Brutus and Anthony gave similar speeches, but Anthony's had a deeper meaning because of the appropriated use of persuasive appeals.

Explanation:

First Brutus starts off by talking about himself and how honorable he is. "believe me for mine honour, and have respect to mine

honour, that you may believe." Brutus thinks that the people will believe him because of his honor, but he is not persuading anyone by doing this, that is not what the people want to hear. Brutus also wants to ethically persuade the crowd by saying, "Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I love Rome more." Here he is trying to show that he loves Rome more than anything in this case more than his own friends. Again this is not strong enough to persuade people, because his evidence is pretty weak.

During his speech, he never really appealsto logic which is the most accurate way of persuading people since it is real evidence.

On the other hand, Anthony starts off by talking about Caesar and Brutus' honor. "I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him... The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious." Anthony is saying that Brutus is an honorable man and that Caesar was ambitious, to then prove later on the speech that he was totally wrong. He appeals to ethics by saying "For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honorurable men." He mentions this in a sarcastic way, so the people find out by themselves that Brutus and his friends are not what they say they are. He also appeals to reason by giving examples of Caesar's non-ambitious actions. And lastly, Anthony appeals to Emotion by saying and acting along with the following words "My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar" These words make the people feel sorry for both Caesar and Anthony, turning them against Brutus.

I guess This what your looking for<( ̄︶ ̄)>
