For instance, he said, “Believe me for mine honor…” Brutus also told the crowd, “I have the same dagger for myself when it shall please my country to need my death.” This appeals to character by letting the people know that he is honorable and trustworthy. In Brutus's speech he appealed to the audience's logos by employing reason and logic to the crowd. For instance, Brutus said “Had you rather Caesar were living and all slaves than that Caesar were dead to live all free men?” He also told the people of Rome, “I have done no more to Caesar than you shall to do to Brutus.” This appeals to logic by showing them that while it seems harsh, it is better for Caesar to die rather them to be slaves. It is only fair that if he behaves the way Caesar did he would also be dead. Also, in his speech Brutus appeals to the audience’s pathos by making the people experience emotions of pity and sadness for Brutus. For instance, he said “Not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more.” Brutus also made that statement, “As Caesar loved me, I weep for him.” This appeals to emotion by showing his love for Caesar. The first quote shows his love from Rome, while the second quote shows his grief for Caesar’s death. In the end, Brutus used ethos to let the people of Rome know he is honorable, logos to convince the people that Caesar’s death is for the better, and pathos to show the people that he loves
