Rhetorical Appeals by Michael Delmont, Gavin Thompson, and Giana Gomez

1. Pathos

2. Ethos

   • "Peace, ho! Caesar speaks." (I.ii.2.)
   • "I shall remember. When Caesar says, "do this," it is performed." (I.ii.12-13.)
   • "Be you content. Good Cinna, take this paper, and look you lay it in the praetor's chair where Brutus may but find it. And throw this in at his window. Set this up with wax upon old Brutus' statue." (I.iii.144-148.)

3. Logos

   • "I cannot tell what you and other men think of this life, but, for my single self, I had as lief not be as live to be in awe of such a thing as I myself. I was born 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.95-101).
   • "Oh, he sits high in all the people's hearts, and that which would appear offense in us, his countenance, like richest alchemy, will change to virtue and to worthiness" (I.iii.159-162).
   • "Truly, sir, all that I live by is with the awl. I meddle with no tradesman's matters nor women's matters, but withal I am indeed, sir, a surgeon to old shoes. When they are in great danger, I recover them. As proper men as ever trod upon neat's leather have gone upon my handiwork" (I.i.22-27).
