Julius Caesar Act 1

Julius Caesar Act 1

1. 3 examples of Pathos

   • "Are not you moved when all the sway of earth Shakes like a thing unfirm? O Cicero, I have seen tempests when the scolding winds Have rived the knotty oaks, and I have seen Th' ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam To be exalted with the threatening clouds, But never till tonight, never till now, Did I go through a tempest dropping fire. Either there is a civil strife in heaven, Or else the world, too saucy with the gods, Incenses them to send destruction" (I.iii.3-13).
   • "Brutus, I do observe you now of late I have not from your eyes that gentleness And show of love as I was wont to have. You bear too stubborn and too strange a hand Over your friend that loves you" (I.ii.34-38).
   • "Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? What tributaries follow him to Rome To grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels? You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things, O you hard hearts, you cruèl men of Rome, Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft Have you climbed up to walls and battlements, To towers and windows, yea, to chimney tops, Your infants in your arms, and there have sat The livelong day with patient expectation To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome. And when you saw his chariot but appear, Have you not made an universal shout That Tiber trembled underneath her banks To hear the replication of your sounds Made in her concave shores? And do you now put on your best attire? And do you now cull out a holiday?" (I.i.32-51).

2. 3 examples of Ethos

   • "I shall remember. When Caesar says, "do this", it is performed" (I.ii.12-13).
   • "And for mine own part, I durst not laugh for fear of opening my lips and receiving the bad air" (I.ii.249-251).
   • "Three or four wenches where I stood cried, “Alas, good soul!” and forgave him with all their hearts. But there’s no heed to be taken of them. If Caesar had stabbed their mothers they would have done no less" (I.ii.268-273).

3. 3 examples of Logos

   • "These growing feathers plucked from Caesar’s wing Will make him fly an ordinary pitch, Who else would soar above the view of men And keep us all in servile fearfulness" (I.i.72-75).
   • "Ay, marry, was ’t, and he put it by thrice, every time gentler than other, and at every putting-by mine honest neighbors shouted" (I.ii.229-231).
   • I have heard, Where many of the best respect in Rome, Except immortal Caesar, Speaking of Brutus And underneath this age's yoke, Have wished the noble Brutus had his eyes" (I.ii.60-64).
