Shakespeare had already demonstrated to the reader that the Roman people are easily swayed with the opening scene in Act I. After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Brutus speaks to the crowd and convinces them that Caesar was ambitious and would have been a terrible leader. Although he is not a skilled speaker, he is able to use logos to convince that crowd that what he and the conspirators did was the best for Rome.
