Logos, Ethos, and Pathos
by Brian Coffey, Armani
Alvarez, and Lizzie Fuchs
Logos (to appeal to logic)
" A trade , sir,
that i hope, I
may use with a
safe conscince,
which is indeed,
sir, a mender of
bad
soles."(I.i.13)
"But wherefore
art not in in thy
shop today?
Why dost thou
lead these men
about the
streets?"(I.i.27)
" Brutus, i do
observe you
now of late; "
(I.ii.32)
“I was born
as free as
Caesar; so
were you; we
both have fed
as well, and
we can both
endure the
winter’s cold
as well as he.”
(I.ii.104)
Ethos (to appeal to trust)
"No, Cassius; for the eyes
sees not itself But by
reflection, by some other
things" (Act I. Scene II. Line
53).
"I know that virtue to be in you,
Brutus, As well as I do know
your outward favor. Well, honor
is the subject of my story" (Act
I. Scene II. Line 91-92).
"Fear him not, Caesar,
he's not dangerous; He
is a noble Roman, and
well given" (Act I. Scene
II, Line 196-197).
Pathos ( to appeal to emotion)
"You blocks, you stones, you
worse than senseless things! O
you hard hearts, you cruel men
of Rome," (I.i.35-36).
"And show of love as I was
won't to have; You bear too
stubborn and too strange a
hand Over your friend that
loves you" (I.ii.34-36).
"And for my own part,
I durst not laugh, for
fear of opening my lips
and receiving the bad
air" (I.ii.247-248).
