Does Brutus’ use of repetition make him easier or harder to listen to? Which of his words stand out as a result of being repeated? Repetition usually helps to plant ideas in the minds of the people listening.How do Antony and Brutus each use repetition and antithesis? Ask yourself:

My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,Īnd I must pause till it come back to me. O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts,Īnd men have lost their reason!-Bear with me What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for

You all did love him once, not without cause. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept Īmbition should be made of sterner stuff. Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill. He hath brought many captives home to Rome, He was my friend, faithful and just to me, The good is oft interrèd with their bones. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.
