Rhetoric in Julius Caesar: Persuasion through Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," the art of rhetoric plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion. Brutus and Antony deliver powerful speeches with differing aims: Brutus seeks to justify his actions to the audience through rational argument, while Antony aims to incite them against the conspirators. Both employ rhetorical strategies—ethos, pathos, and logos—to sway the crowd. Ethos establishes credibility, pathos evokes emotions, and logos appeals to logic, demonstrating how rhetoric can effectively influence and manipulate public sentiment.
