Read the excerpt from Act III, Scene ii of Julius Caesar and answer the question that follows.

FIRST CITIZEN:
Methinks there is much reason in his sayings.

SECOND CITIZEN:
If thou consider rightly of the matter,
Caesar has had great wrong.

THIRD CITIZEN:
Has he, masters?
I fear there will a worse come in his place.

FOURTH CITIZEN:
Mark'd ye his words? He would not take the crown;
Therefore 'tis certain he was not ambitious.

FIRST CITIZEN:
If it be found so, some will dear abide it.

SECOND CITIZEN:
Poor soul! his eyes are red as fire with weeping.

THIRD CITIZEN:
There's not a nobler man in Rome than Antony.

FOURTH CITIZEN:
Now mark him, he begins again to speak.

ANTONY:
But yesterday the word of Caesar might
Have stood against the world; now lies he there.
And none so poor to do him reverence.
O masters, if I were disposed to stir
Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,
I should do Brutus wrong, and Cassius wrong,
Who, you all know, are honourable men:
I will not do them wrong; I rather choose
To wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you,
Than I will wrong such honourable men.
But here's a parchment with the seal of Caesar;
I found it in his closet, 'tis his will:
Let but the commons hear this testament—
Which, pardon me, I do not mean to read—
And they would go and kiss dead Caesar's wounds
And dip their napkins in his sacred blood,
Yea, beg a hair of him for memory,
And, dying, mention it within their wills,
Bequeathing it as a rich legacy
Unto their issue.

FOURTH CITIZEN:
We'll hear the will: read it, Mark Antony.

ALL:
The will, the will! We will hear Caesar's will.

ANTONY:
Have patience, gentle friends, I must not read it;
It is not meet you know how Caesar loved you.
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men;
And, being men, bearing the will of Caesar,
It will inflame you, it will make you mad:
'Tis good you know not that you are his heirs;
For, if you should, O, what would come of it!

In a well-written paragraph of 5–7 sentences:

Identify two rhetorical appeals (ethos, kairos, logos, or pathos) used by Antony; the appeal types may be the same or different.
Evaluate the effectiveness of both appeals.
Support your response with evidence of each appeal from the text.


Sagot :

The rhetorical appeals that were used include ethos and pathos.

How were the rhetorical appeals used?

By constructing logical arguments, Logos appeals to the rational side of the listener. By appealing to the speaker's status or authority, ethos increases the likelihood that the audience will believe them. In order to evoke certain feelings in the audience, such as anger or sympathy, pathos uses emotional appeals.

It should be noted that rhetorical appeal is important in order to convince the audience and make them agree to a certain position or point. This was illustrated based on the information given.

In this case, Anthony stated "Have patience, gentle friends, I must not read it; It is not meet you know how Caesar loved you. You are not wood, you are not stones, but men.

He was trying to convince them to agree to his point.
