‘As Caesar loved me, I weep for him’ Brutus explains here that he still cared for him and he also claimed that Caesar was not good for Rome because he was ambitious.īrutus came into a confused and curios crowd. Brutus explained that he loved Caesar and cared for him but his death was for the good of Rome. Although Brutus did a very good job in explaining to the crowd that murdering Caesar was for the good of Rome, he still hadn’t won them over. His speech was very formal, and it seems that all of his sentences were balanced. This quote basically proves and summarises Brutus’ point to his speech. He says: ‘Brutus rose against Caesar, that is my answer: Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more’ (Act 3 scene 2 lines 21-22) His reason for killing Caesar was not because he did not love him, but because he lived Rome more. He begins his speech with ‘Romans, countrymen, and lovers’ this shows he loved Rome more and addressed them a Romans first because it was more important to him, it shows he is patriotic. He explains to the crowd that Caesar was removed due to his ambition and that if he were to become king, Rome would be destroyed.īrutus speaks in ‘prose’ (lower class language) so that he is able to speak and communicate with the crowd properly. Brutus approaches the crowd by stating his reasons for killing Caesar. If the play was staged he and the conspirators would approach the stand with their hands dripping in Caesars blood, creating a victorious effect. Therefore, differing effects on the crowd as a result of their differing styles and techniques. Both speeches had their own addressing the crowd as well as differing styles. The two characters Brutus and Mark Antony (who was not part of the conspiracy) both speak at Caesars funeral.Įach had his own reason and purpose for doing so.
