Question

Bring out the paradox elements in funeral oration of Mark Antony and Marcus Brutus ?? ( JULIUS CAESAR )

Answer 1

Brutus justifies the assassination by saying Caesar would have gone on 
to become a tyrant, an oppressor and a burden on Rome for long to 
come. He argues that by killing Caesar, he is relieving Rome of a 
certain dictator. Cassius sums this ideology up well when he says -

Antony's soliloquy shows a prediction of a destructive civil war, which will be provoked by Caesar's assassination, by using dark imagery, defencelessness symbolism along with menial paradoxes and a superstitious oxymoron. This commentary will examine the use of these literary devices to support Antony's presumption of a civil conflict.


THEY BOTH ARE CONFUSING THE MOB BY THEIR VIEWS ON CAESER DEATH
