Read Antony's speech to the citizens of Rome at Caesar's funeral, from Julius Caesar by William Shakes He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill.
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious:
And Brutus is an honorable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And sure he is an honorable man.
What persuasive device does Antony use in this speech?
O 1. emotional appeal based on the actions of Caesar
2. emotional appeal based on the accomplishments of Brutus
3. "ad hominem" (attack against the man) in statements about Brutus
4. "non sequitur" (it does not follow) in statements about Brutus' actions
