The Art of Rhetoric
Storyboard Text
- Ethos:
- This is an example of ethos as Cassius is using the fact that he’s an honest friend/person, to build credibility to help convince Brutus to join him, making it harder for Brutus to say no through giving no place for doubt to form.
- “And be not jealous on me, gentle Brutus.Were I a common laugher, or did useTo stale with ordinary oaths my loveTo every new protester, if you knowThat I do fawn on men and hug them hardAnd, after, scandal them,” (Act I Scene II, Cassius Lines 76-81).
- Pathos:
- “O you hard hearts, you cruèl men of Rome,Knew you not Pompey?” (Act I Scene I, Murellus Lines 39-40).
- Through having the commoners remember the great Pompey and his terrible fate brought on by the hands of that which they now celebrate, Murellus is able to make them feel ashamed, which convinces them to leave and stop celebrating. This is an example of pathos as Murellus is using emotion, in this case, shame, to get others to follow his demand to get back to work.
- Logos:
- This is an example of logos, as Casca is convincing Cinna and Decius that what they see isn’t the sun rising through using the fact that the sun rises more towards the south when early in the year, meaning that the sun would be in a different location from where they were looking.
- “Here, as I point my sword, the sun arises,Which is a great way growing on the south,Weighing the youthful season of the year."(Act II Scene I, Casca Lines 114-116).
