Question

Prove that Mark Antony was a master of eloquence and oratory by giving instances from the play. How did he create sympathy for Caesar??...

Plzzzz tell in about 100 to 120 words!!

Answer 1

Antony in his speech, highlights the positive qualities of Julius Caesar. Caesar was a great warrior, a tough General who brought captives to Rome and filled its coffers. He was valiant and fearless. Moreover, he was not ambitious, as projected by the conspirators. He had thrice refused the crown when he was offered. Caesar’s heart bled for the welfare of Rome and he had Roman interests on top of any other consideration. He had also left all his property, money, walks, chambers and orchards for the people of Rome. He was a champion of Roman liberty and wanted to make Rome a very powerful nation. Hearing all this, mob feel emotionally supportive of Antony and he could provoke them to rise against Brutus and others. 

He alsouses emotional blackmail to provoke the Romans against the conspirators. He exploits their sentiments by saying that Caesar was not money-minded and he has left all his riches for the Romans in his will. He elaborates that Caesar has left all his walks, gardens, private chambers and newly planted orchards on the bank of Tiber for them. This revelation makes the Romans very emotional.
