"Would you prefer that Caesar was alive and you all die slaves, or that Caesar were dead and you live as free men?"
Brutus' Speech- Pathos
"It is not that I lived Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more."
Brutus' Speech- Logos
Brutus uses ethos here to appeal to the peoples' logic. He reasons to them through rhetorical questions that they should not be resistant of Caesars death. That they should be happy becuase they were slaves under his rule and not they have a chance to live their lives as free men.
Antony's Speech- Ethos
Brutus also uses emotion to gain support from the citizens. He expressed his love for them as well as Ceasar. This makes them feel his emotion and sympathize with him.
Antony's Speech- Pathos
"When the poor would cry, Caesar would weep."
Finally, Brutus uses a little fact, some sentences of straight truth, to persuade his audience. He takes a brief moment to state facts in order to strength the peoples' trust in him and that what he is saying is true.
Antony's Speech- Logos
"You all saw that during the feast of Lupercal I presented him with a kingly crown three times, which he refused three times."
Antony combats Brutus' point of Caesar deserving to die by reminding them of how much he did for them. This instantly starts getting them on his side as they think about all of the positive Caesar had in their lives.
Antony proceeds to use pathos to convert the Brutus believers in front of him. He continually goes on about the love Caesar had for his people and how great of a person he is. Urging the people to remember those emotions greatly sways them to his side.
Lastly Antony uses facts, not very much though. ANtony's speech is heavily dependant on Pathos and making his audience feel. But he inserts the use of logos to put an unconscious thought in the back of there heads that he is trustworthy and truthful, they what he is saying is more fact than persuasion.
