The speeches that Brutus and Mark Antony deliver differ in several ways. However, one of the most important differences they exhibit is the way in which each speaker addresses the audience.
In the case of <u>Brutus</u>, he decides to appeal to his audience's minds. He speaks in a somewhat impersonal way that suggests that he does not understand the audience deeply. Moreover, his description of the motives of the plot is dry, and it underestimates the connection that the audience felt to Julius Caesar.
On the other hand, <u>Mark Antony</u> seems to understand the crowd better. He uses emotional words that create a more personal relationship. He also focuses on the importance that Julius Caesar had for the audience. This creates a more successful and dramatic speech.
Flashback - a literary device often employed to recall a previous event or memory in a character's mind. This device allows for background knowledge to be expanded for events that do not take place chronologically in the story arc. Often are used in first person point of view.
