Anthony plays the word 'honourable' .what effect does this have on the crowd
Answers
Answer:
This repetition of the phrase, 'Brutus is an honourable man' is a clever rhetorical device. Antony is being wholly sarcastic when he says it. This has a cumulative impact on the crowd, as they listen to Antony demolishing all of Brutus's arguments.
Answer:
From William Shakespeare's THE TRAGEDY OF JULIUS CAESAR..
He uses the word 'honourable' so that the people may think he's against the noble Brutus even though he assassinated someone as honourable as Caesar...
Anthony is speaking at the pulpit only with permission of Brutus who made the people believed that Caesar was a dangerous threat to the whole Rome...
So to make the citizens believe that what Brutus had done was wrong and speaks about the noble deeds of Caesar along with praising Brutus as honourable..
