Question

[BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand

why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him.
As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was
valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I
slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his
fortune, honour for his valour, and death for his
ambition.

[ANTONY.] The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious.
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answered it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—
For Brutus is an honourable man,
So are they all, all honourable men—
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me.
But Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill.

Which statements are true of both monologues? Select three options.


The speaker uses sarcasm.
The speaker uses repetition and parallelism.
The speaker uses imagery.
The speaker attempts to calm the audience.
The speaker appeals to emotions.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Brutus does not use sarcasm. Antony does. The contrast is amazing.

It is certainly true that Antony is trying to stir the crowd up. He wants the crowd to see through the sham that Brutus is as Brutus tries to explain himself.

The other three are correct.

1. There is much parallelism and repetition. Antony uses honorable many times. Brutus uses sentence structure that repeats that he has Rome's best interest in mind.
2. Both appeal to emotions.
3. Both use imagery. For Brutus, ambition is a four letter word. For Antony, honorable almost means the exact opposite.
