In my essay, I was able to use pathos, ethos, and logos effectively to interpret the ideas of power and how it affects one’s personal life. I used the technique of logos, by taking the information of Julius Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, and Adolf Hitler as evidence so I could have accurate conclusions. Also with the evidence and the leaders I mentioned in my essay, I stated Ethos, because it related to the idea that my ideas were credible based on my evidence. Ethos was also stated in the in-text citations and quotes, helping to make my essay credible that I got the information from a worthy source. I appealed to emotion with the technique of pathos, by creating sympathy for Brutus’s wife in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.
When trying to convince a group of people to view things a different way, there are different tactics to go about persuading them. The tactics logos, ethos and pathos appeal to the different sides of a person's minds. Logos appeals to logic, often used to persuade an audience through reason. Ethos appeals to ethics, usually used to convince the audience the credibility of the speaker. Pathos is used to appeal to the emotional side of the audience, being used in a way to create an emotional response from the audience in favor of the speaker.
Have you ever wondered who killed Julius Caesar? It was a dark day that day you know March 15Th 44 BC the day that Julius Caesar was brutally murdered at the meeting in the Senate building.

Luis Arredondo Professor Kinkead Composition I 11 September 2016 Aristotle Summary Aristotle Rhetoric Book I takes a look into the social implications of rhetoric, while describing attributes of rhetoric. Aristotle clarifies the difference between dialectic and rhetoric, dialect having overall implications of the message and rhetoric having particular set of goals. The main goal of Rhetoric is to persuade the audience on a large scale. Ethos, logos, and pathos are necessary for persuading the audience due to ethos establishing credibility for the speaker, logos giving the speech a logical approach, pathos giving the audience an emotional perspective.
Nathan Schwartz Mrs. Comm Honors English 10 13 April 2023 Mark Antony (Pathos Ethos Logos) Persuasive Essay In Antony’s deceptive speech to the peasants he establishes his argument by use of ethos that Caesar was, in fact, not ambitious, by explaining Caesar’s empathetic nature he then develops his argument by displaying the contents of Caesar’s will to appeal to pathos, and the peasant’s sense of loss, and ultimately concludes his speech by explaining how the peasants will decide their own fate in an impressive display of logos. Mark Antony, in this way, masterfully disguises a manipulative rally of violence and chaos as a passionate funeral speech, in doing so he turns a crowd of shocked people into a horde of rampaging beasts.
Julius Caesar was one of Rome’s most successful and outstanding leaders. The question of whether or not he deserved to die is very simple. No, Julius Caesar did not deserve to be assassinated for the good of Rome because he was the good of Rome. Politically, militaristically, and economically he benefited Rome. Did the conspirators kill Caesar for the good of Rome or for their own personal motives?
In Shakespeare's play The tragedy of Julius Caesar after Caesar was slain by the conspirators, at his funeral Brutus and Mark Anthony both gave a speech about Caesars' brutal death and how they public should react to it. Brutus, being the smart man he is was using a lot of logos in is speech to win the crows over and to justify what has happened. While on the other hand Mark Anthony was using a lot a pathos to get the crowd on his side to get them to read his will. Brutus's speech was packed full of logos which made him seem more credible. During his speech he said "Had you rather Caesar living and die all slaves?
Julius Caesar was a politician, general, and dictator. He once said, “It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.” He was an incredible speaker of the time and was very well liked by most citizens. He brought a lot of change to Rome and was a very strong leader. Julius Gaius Caesar was born in Rome Italy, in 100 B.C., on July 13th.
Justified Killing Throughout time, many decisions have been made, some small like where to go to eat dinner, and others big like whether or not you should buy a particular house. However, being every decision is a person who persuaded you to make that decision, whether it be yourself or someone else, some sort of thinking went into the decision. Roy E. Disney once said, “When your values are clear to you making decisions becomes easier.” Brutus and Antony both attempted to make the people of Rome make a decision through their speeches.
The conspirators took matters into their own hands by killing Caesar so his powers decreased. The conspiracy contained many important individuals including Marcus Brutus and Cassius Longinus. Cassius got Brutus’s assistance by persuading him to join. At the end of William Shakespeare 's play “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” Caesar was killed by the conspirators at the Senate and later on some of the conspirators died.
In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, he uses rhetoric writing techniques and appeals, such as ethos, logos and pathos, to enhance the persuasive element of the monologues. Cassius persuades Brutus to overthrow Caesar while using logos throughout his monologue. Cassius proves Caesar competes with him by explaining to Brutus, with facts, that Caesar questioned him to, “Leap in with me into this angry flood and swim to yonder point” and prove how Caesar makes everything a competition with Cassius (Shakespeare 14-15). Cassius also wants to show Brutus that Caesar believes that he is a triumphant leader and can accomplish many battles from the past like, “Aeneas, our great ancestor, did the flames of Troy upon his shoulder the old Anchises bear,
At the funeral, both of Caesar’s friends, Brutus and Antony, made a speech. In Brutus’s speech he was very concise and was saying that he did it all for Rome. Brutus used logos and ethos in his speech. To fortify his speech, he used logos which is logic and reason. In his speech, he says listen to my reasons and he goes onto his reasons that Caesar would have become ambitious and enslaved them all.
They would consider him a bad man because he would have done so many bad things if he were crowned at the ceremony. The conspirators make this plan so that Caesar does not get crowned. They were scared that he would become a dictator, if this were to happen he would have been a harsh and strict as a ruler. The conspirators were all ready to assassinate Caesar because they did not want the horrible dictatorship.
Brutus convinces the plebeians by asking the rhetorical question, “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?” (3.2.24-26). By directly asking the people Brutus cleverly places thoughts into the minds of the plebeians so they feel as though they are a part of the solution to a problem. The question posed makes people think logically about the situation which makes them realize that if the conspirators had not murdered Caesar, every citizen of Rome would be living under Caesar’s rule as slaves. Brutus combines both logos and pathos in his speech to emphasize the passion he has for the future Rome.
The conspirators feel no one person should have to much power while the Roman people want their beloved Caesar to rule over them. We should not kill Caesar even though granted illegal citizenship to those who lived in Gaul and over the years has put many of them in the Senate. Caesar may have done this to get new perspectives in the senate-house instead of having the same narrow-minded people all the time ( Baker, 118 ). He made a law saying that it is illegal to wage war without the other party attacking first. Shortly after this, he broke his law in Gaul while serving his proconsul.
