Caesar Act III

Act III: Analyze Antony’s monologue to the people at the funeral. Is his argument a logical one? How does he appeal to the emotions? In your opinion, do you believe the speech is effective? Explain with specific examples!!

I don't think his argument is a logical ones because he uses examples such as denying the crown but today we think that it was all a facade. He raises his voice and lowers it to get the crowds attention but because of this it was very effective to get into the crowds emotions. He also used the will as a bribe to get the crowds attention and to try and let the people see that Caesar was compassionate and giving, all the opposite of ambitious.
