Caesar Act 1 Logos, Ethos, and Pathos

1. Logos Jonathan Shumaker

2. Ethos Sharif Afifi

   • "Truly, sir, to wear out their shoes, to get myself into more work. But, indeed, sir, we make holiday, to see Caesar and to rejoice in his triumph." (i.i.30-32)
   • "Truly, sir, in respect of a fine workman, I am but, as you would say, a cobbler." (i.i.11-12)
   • "Fear him not, Caesar; he's not dangerous; He is a noble Roman and well given." (i.ii.288-289)

3. Pathos Adam Kapadia

   • One day Cassius and Brutus were swimming in the Tiber river, and Caesar was about to sink so he made Cassius save him. Caesar was not going to live if if wasn't for Cassius. If Caesar is so powerful could he have saved himself and now he is being very rude to Cassius so saved him. Someone who is vulnerable and rude should not be King. (I.ii.100-118)
   • Casca is trying to convince Cicero that the Gods are angry with the Romans. Casca speaks of men who are on fire and not burning, ghostly women, a lion near the Capitol, and an owl sitting on a tree in the middle of the day. (I.iii.15-32)
   • Next Casca speaks of how Caesar faints after the people offer him the crown. He makes it seem like Caesar is trying to put on a show for the Romans. They might feel bad for him if he is sick and make him King. (I.ii.245-248)
   • "I have heard Where many of the best respect in Rome (Except immortal Caesar), speaking of Brutus, And groaning underneath this age's yoke, Have wished that noble Brutus had his eyes." (I.ii.58-62)
