Act 3 Scene 2 1. Both Brutus and Antony delivered incredible memorable and profound speeches to Roman audiences.

Part of their speechs splendor is derived from their marvelous utilization of an oral technique known as rhetoric. Brutus makes use of strong imagery (3.2.22-24), (3.2.26), diction, (3.2. 14-15) (3.2.30)- rude as well as emotional appeal, (3.2.21-22), (3.2.27-28). Antony also uses rhetorical devices of repetition, (2.3.81), (2.3.92), strong imagery, (3.2.131-132) (3.2.172-175) diction (3.2.81)-honorable, (3.2. 132)- sacred blood and emotional appeal, (3.2.180-184), (3.2.140-144). While both delivered their speeches extremely effectively, it was Brutus that had a greater impact on the crowd. Not only was he able to sway the public opinion of Brutus and the other noble conspirators but he was also able to provoke the crowds into mutiny. The main reason that Antonys speech was so much more effective than Brutus was the fact that Antony was able to appeal to the crowds emotions. Unlike Brutus who focused on persuading the crowd with pure logic, Antony preys on the Romans fragile emotions. Antony manages to enrage and ignite the fire of mutiny in the Romans by reading Caesars fake will as well as revealing Caesars corpse. These two images were enough to sway the Romans into believing that the conspirators murder of Caesar was dishonorable 2. The crowd is left emotionally charged after Antonys speech because his words managed to appeal to the crowds raw emotions. Unlike Brutus, who uses straight intellect and logical reasoning, Antony attempts the win the crowd over by rallying up their emotions. He not only manages to arouse feelings of admiration by reading Caesars made up will but also angst and vengeance when Antony reveals Julius corpse. 3.The final error Brutus makes is in his decision to leave the assembly after his speech is made. He feels confident that he has made his point and finds it unnecessary to observe how the crowd will react to Antonys speech. This foreshadows Brutus downfall as it demonstrates to the readers that he is overly trusting and too well natured. In the end, Brutus will eventually fall due to this character trait. Act 3 Scene 3 1. The term mob mentality refers to the way individuals act when accompanied by others in a group. Often people act very differently in a group and may do inappropriate things that they would not normally do by themselves. 2. This phenomenon happens in Scene 3 when the angry mob murders Cinna the Poet. Although he had no part in the conspiracy, he is still killed by the mob simply due to the mob mentality of the murders. 3. No a single citizens would not have attacked Cinna the Poet. An individual would be logical and understand that Cinna the Poet was innocent and coincidently happened to share the same name as one of the conspirators. However, it is due to the mob mentality that causes the murders to act irrationally and savagely. 4. This shows that as humans we have an innate, primal desire to be part of a larger group. This need is so strong that it can turn off our basic moral sense; prompting us to do things that we would usually have the sense not to, just to fit in and remain part of a group.
