4. Prompt for writing:
One major element of Julius Caesar is rhetoric – the skill of persuading others with words. In Act III, Shakespeare pits Mark Antony’s famous “Friends, Romans, Countrymen” speech against Brutus’s “Romans, Countrymen, and Lovers” earlier in the scene. Read both carefully. Most find Antony’s speech more effective rhetorically (surely the crowd did!). Why is that? Does Shakespeare agree? Or disagree? Be able to argue from careful attention to the text, not just your general impressions.
