what is the key difference between the speeches spoken by Antony and Brutus?

Question

What was the importance in the speech of Antony due to which the whole mob became infuriated and wented to take revenge from Caesar and his companions?

Answer 1

The key difference between the historic speeches of Mark Antony and Marcus Brutus in Shakespeare's tragedy Julius Caesar is:
-->Brutus appealed to the SENSE of REASON of the commoners.The roman people were hero worshippers and they were taken up by the 3 ques. asked by brutus.
-->Antony on the other hand appealed to the EMOTIONS of the crowd.He succeeded in pacifying the mob emotionally through his oratory skills. Caesar's will hurtled the crowd emotionally and thus infuriated them. His ironical reference to the conspirators as "honourable men" also hold the key.

Answer 2

I'm going to assume you're referring to the Shakespeare play here, and you're referring to the famous speech by Antony commonly refered to as the 'honourable man' speech.

That speech is interesting, from an acting or analysis standpoint, because rhetorically, Antony has to be very careful with what he says. He fully understands that Brutus is watching him and, since Brutus had the first word, the crowd has been won to Brutus' way of thinking that Caesar was a tyrant and deserved to die. He is able to bring the crowd around to his way of thinking in spite of denying, at every turn, that he is doing so, by subtly reminding the crowd of all the good about Ceasar, and all the good he had done, whilst constantly reminding the audience that Brutus is the cause of Caesar's downfall. Eventually, he builds his case to the point that the audience by juxtaposing what Brutus said about Caesar and what they already know to the point where they snap, no longer believing Brutus' words against Caesar or even, as Antony says more and more sarcastically throughout the speech, that Brutus, and his co-conspirators, are an 'honourable men'.

Answer 3

Well, acc. to compact agreement antony was to speak anything he could devise of caesar without blaming conspirators.
And that what he did ....he took "ladoo" in both hands....
He paused after speaking something...for mob to think calmly....he kept on reminding people of caesar's deeds and attacked on their sentiments....he kept on praising caesar and the will he had left....in this way he also attracted "self-motive-moved" people towards who after hearing will left for rebellion....

Brutus though was a brilliant orator...he hadn't had any strong reasons for killing ceasar...yeah! he attracted people but neither he could hit their basic sentiments (only outer thinking) nor he pleased their
"soul of greed".

Answer 4

It was the clashes between superiority and normal
