explain why oratory skills of antony are very effective
Answers
Explanation:
Antony was an excellent orator, able to command a crowd's attention and convince them to believe his sentiments. We see this most significantly in his masterful funeral oration for Caesar.In this speech to the public, he manages to make the crowd believe he is one of them, while also rallying them against the conspirators. In spite of Romans being dissatisfied with Caesar, Antony manages to get them be outraged at his assassination. Antony's speech appealed to the crowd's emotions, while Brutus's was clinically logical and direct. Brutus used language that was clinically sensible and provided a rational explanation why Caesar had to be assassinated. He told them that he and the other conspirators had acted for the good of Rome and prevented them to be ruled by a possible tyrant. Antony appeals to the basic sentiments of the common people.He very cleverly directs his speech towards Caesar's greatness as a human being.He, in that way , arouses the citizens' feeling of revenge against the conspirators.So ,his speech has a good impact on truth and he can be considered as good orator or speaker.
