Why are Antony and Brutus’s speeches effective?
The play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, proves that a crowd is
manipulated by perceiving whats important to the multitudes and then
manipulating their values. MM
Concrete Details•Brutus does do a good job in having the crowd go to
his side in the argument, but Antony does a better job of swaying the
crowd into liking his opinion more than what they had previously heard
with Brutus. BB/MM ( Act3, Scene2).
•Antony knew how the crowd was going to react when he pulled out the
will and he used that to his advantage. ER(Act3 Scene 2)
•Antony speech was the most effective because he never insulted Brutus
directly, but by using a different tone in his voice he could make
sure that the crowd knew how insincere what he was saying was. BB/MM
( Act3, Scene2).
Commentary•The reason why Brutus’s speech is effective is because he
relates to the crowd in a sense where the crowd knows him and he also
uses his reputation as a noble man to his advantage. NS ( Act3,
Scene2). -Also he tells the people to correct him if hes wrong, which
shows the crowd that he is confident in what he is talking about. MM
•Antony’s speech is even more effective because he goes last which
makes his input the freshest into the plebians minds. BB
•Antony also uses what Brutus said in relating to the crowd and uses
it in a way where the crowd thinks that what Brutus said is untrue,
and that he was not doing it for the good of Rome that he was doing
it only to benefit himself. BB
•Antony also points out Brutus’s flaws to make his arguments now seem
invalid ER.
•Antony points out Brutus’ flaws in general. MM
•Brutus does realize after that he was played and that he made the
wrong decision. That Rome would have been better off with Caesar still
in charge. BB
•Before Caesar pulled out the will they were very curious to what it
said because he had held it from them for some time so when they heard
what good things he left his people they took the dramatic step to
want to honor Caesar and set the traitor’s houses on fire and kill
Brutus.ER
•Antony even resorts to lieing to the crowds to gather the plebian’s
emotions to get them where they want because he talks about Caesar’s
wounds and Antony wasn’t even there when he died.ER

good thesis but, maybe you guys could Brutus and Mark Antonys name in
the thesis, because they manipulate the crowd. I thought everything
else flowed nicely.

Good idea for the thesis, but you use manipulation twice and where
does it prove a crowd can be manipulated?

Use diffrent words than manipulation in the thesis, if you already
said that word once

Are these quotes from the original way of writing or the new way in No
Fear? I sigest in your first paragraph tell the stuff about Brutus
first because it flows better in that its in cronological order. Also
tell the reader that Anthony used hard evidence in his speech rather
than generalities and thoughts like Brutus used.

For the concrete details you might want to quote the text instead of
interpreting it, and you should say who is doing the manipulation in
the thesis.

Good, but try to use more clarity in your thesis so the reader can
perfectly understand what you are saying
