Question

why is Antony speech more effective??

Answer 1

Antony speech is more effective because it is genuine and full of emotions and feelings for Caesar. He very cleverly tells the crowd that Caesar was not ambitious rather he had refused the crown thrice. He enhanced the glory of Rome with his victories. He left 75 drachmas in his will to be given to every Roman. He left his gardens and property for the common use of the people. He tries to gain the sympathy of the people by showing Caesar’s wounded body. The mob is filled with anger after Antony’s speech and they rush to kill the conspirators.

Answer 2

Antony's speech is more effective because he became able to arouse the basic sentiments of the mob. He was a good orator . He plays tactfully.   He calls Brutus an honourable man. Then he slowly disapproves the ambition of Caesar . He shows his will as a proof that caesar was not ambitious . He says that Caesar has left everything for the Romans. At this, the mob became furious and decided to avenge the death of Caesar.
