In The Great Gatsby, as is the same in any story, the setting is important because it helps set the tone (the author's attitude) and the mood (the reader's feelings) of the story. It also gives you a visual of a time one is not familiar with since it is set several years ago. The setting is also important to appeal to imagery (or all of your senses). Without the setting, one cannot place characters accurately or understand the actions of characters if they do not know the appropriate time, place, etc.

Talja [164]

Answer:

The speaker uses repetition and parallelism.

The speaker uses imagery.

The speaker appeals to emotions.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the assassination of Julius Caesar before he was made ruler of Rome. And the doers of the act were his close friends Brutus and Cassius, who revealed they had done it to prevent Rome from being ruled by an emperor, and also to make it more of a free nation rather than be ruled by a single man.

The two given monologues are from Act III scene ii of the play after the death of Caesar. Brutus's monologue reveals his intention behind his own betrayal to get Caesar killed while Antony's monologue also follows the same reason as Brutus. Both monologues show the speakers using imagery and appealing to the emotions of the people. Moreover, both speeches also have repetition and are parallel with each other.
