It has always been known that speeches have had a great influence on humanity and its actions. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. was known for his great and famous speech that brought hope and a new beginning for people of different skin colors to live in harmony. Then there is the other side of the spectrum, where the world has some of Adolf Hitler's speeches: speeches that drove man to do unspeakable things to other members of humanity. In the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, two speeches are given by two very influential characters. The speeches of Brutus and Mark Antony resemble the examples above. Both men and their speeches can be seen as similar, but overall they are very different. Both men come from different backgrounds and both have different ambitions and different motivations. Only two important things tie them together with the thread of similarity. One is Julius Caesar while the other is the people of Rome. The people admire both Brutus and Antony and trust them, as can be seen in two different quotes from Act III, scene two. “The noble Brutus has ascended: silence! (Act III, scene 2- line 1544)” A third citizen shouts from the crowd, and in the same scene the same third citizen states: “There is no nobler man in Rome than Antony. (Act III, scene 2- line 1661)” These quotes show that both Brutus and Antony enjoyed the trust of the public, they were seen as noble, and because of this they both have two different speeches which led to two different speeches.

Antony opens his speech by addressing everyone as his friends, talking about how Caesar was an honorable man, an honest man, everything he had ever done had been for the good of Rome. He says in his speech: “You all saw that on the Lupercal I presented him with the royal crown three times, which he refused three times: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; and he is certainly a man of honor. (Act III, scene 2 - line 1639-1643)” Mark Antony is showing people how great Caesar was and that he was not ambitious. He repeats the words, “Brutus is an honorable man,” over and over, almost as a mockery or challenge. He is trying to make people understand that Brutus is not honorable, that he killed their leader who they loved, which is not an act one would call an honorable man. Mark Antony slowly continues to convince the people that the conspirators were nothing more than murderers. Then he states: “good friends, sweet friends, let me not incite you to such a sudden wave of mutiny… (Act III, scene 2 – line 1754-1755) Now Antony has put the idea of ​​mutiny into their heads, using the word "mutiny" in just the right places to get people to do exactly that:
