The funeral speech of Antony is a masterpiece of oration and is very persuasive. Antony gained his objective as he convinced every member of the mob of Caesar’s innocence and the brutality of the conspirators. He entered with Caesar’s body to win sympathies of the crowd and addressed them as ‘Friends’. He repeatedly called Brutus noble and honourable to convey a sense of sarcasm. Antony praised Caesar in his speech and highlighted his refusal to accept the crown. (Shows and tells that he was not greedy/ambitious) He referred to Caesar’s will and told them Caesar had left money to each one of them. He made the crowd believe that Brutus was telling lies and whatever he had said might be questionable. Brutus convinces the people that Caesar was killed/assassinated in the interest of the Romans but Antony played upon the emotions of the crowd who rose in revolt against Brutus, Cassius and others. The mob got very angry. Their anger caused widespread death and destruction. Antony was an emotional and sincere speaker who avenged Caesar’s death through his skill of oratory.
