Mark Antony use the same rhetoric when he said “you all did see that on the lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown which he did thrice refuse: was this ambitious yet Brutus says he was an ambitious man. And Brutus is an honorable man.”(Act III, Scene 2 Line 97-101) This use of logical reasoning makes the listeners look at the problem from the aspect of him and Brutus which can make them change their mind. Another similar device they used in there speech is the use of personal anecdotes. Brutus uses personal anecdotes when he says “I depart: that as I slew my best lover for the good of Rome, I have the same dagger for myself when it shall please my country to need my death.”(Act III, Scene 2, line 46-48) this quote show how strong Brutus’s relationship was with Julius Caesar. This personal anecdote is used to evoke emotion in the listeners and to make them feel empathetic for him.
English Symbolism The symbolism in Moby Dick and “The Minister’s Black Veil” is that of revenge and secret. Ahab, the captain of the ship that is chasing Moby Dick is seeking revenge because Moby Dick bit his leg off. The Minister’s Black Veil, is a story of secret because the ministers actions he is displaying are not those that are supposed to be shown by a minister. Ahab, the captain of the ship in Moby Dick shows blasphemy in two different forms. Ahab sees himself equal with God and he rejects God for an alliance with the devil.
His criminal family frustrates Sarty in that he just wants to live a normal life. In a rose for Emily” Emily is heavily affected by her relatives. Going insane runs in her family with her great aunt (her dads sister) also being a little crazy. So she is at a disadvantage from the start. Her father doesn’t help the situation because he shields her from the outside world and “chases away potential suitors because none of them are good enough for his daughter” (p.6”A Rose for Emily”).
Also throughout the speech is the usage of pathos, which appeals to the emotions of the listener. The president talks about things like freedom from terror, pursuit in justice, and quests for peace. All of these give a sense of emotional relationship toward anyone who is listening to him speak. This is because no one enjoys terror, everyone agrees that they like justice, and peace is one thing that is so calming that if we were to attain it, then we would surely be happy. In addition to the rhetorical devices used in the speech, the president also uses some literary devices in order to get his point across to those who are listening to his speech.
Another reason their relationship is dangerous is that if John Procter were to prosecute against Abigail Williams saying that she is in fact a witch, Abigail Williams could very easily tell the entire town that she and Procter have been having an affair to get revenge on him. It wouldn’t really affect her too much, but on the contrary, it would ruin his reputation in the town and his relationship with his wife. Later in Act I, Abigail is being “interrogated” by Reverend Hale and she claims “I never sold myself! I’m a good girl! I’m a proper girl!” (Miller 40) in this statement, Abigail is defending herself that she never sold herself to the devil.
First of all “Phaedra need fear no rivals now.” to analyze these words, we can easily find Hippolytus behaved very gentle at this point, show his good quality and reflect he is a perfect person. Whilst, Hippolytus said that he go for his father ‘out of duty’. If we look back to Damis, the differences is obviously emerged. Damis went directly to his father and told him Tartuffe had affair with his wife, trying to let him find out what a hypocrite Tartuffe is. But they have different reason for their actions.
Reverend Hale realized that the girls were lying and accuse people for vengeance. John realize that his name is not worth a life. John Proctor is the most important character because he’s the person who made the witch trial possible by having an affair with Abigail. Another reason is that he tried to save everyone from being
If Brutus wasn’t honorable, he wouldn’t have fallen into Cassius hands and join his side. Because Brutus is a man honor with no hidden motives, he trusts Cassius and cannot see behind his lies. Cassius writes phony letters to Brutus that make him believe the Roman people are begging for his help and since Brutus is an honorable person he agrees to help. Not only does this show he is an honorable man but he is gullible too. When he says, "…not that I loved Caesar less but I loved Rome more."
Also, Abby accuses Mrs. Proctor of witchcraft for her own self-interest. She wanted Mrs. Proctor to be killed so she could have Mr. Proctor to herself. Lastly, Arthur Miller underscores the magnitude of personal indiscretion in influencing social upheaval. During the witch trials, people were afraid of their own sins being exposed and they tried anything they could to keep it a secret. John Proctor tried to keep his affair with Abigail from the court as long as possible until he pretty much had to break down and confess it.
“you all did love him once, not without cause: what cause withholds you then to mourn for him now”(citation). Here Antony depicts how the crowd once did love him but because a man has put false ideas into their heads, they turn on him. A citizen of Rome should stand for their beliefs, not the ones that are put into their heads even if it is by a powerful and honorable man. Not only does Antony show much emotion towards the subject, but so does Brutus when he speaks during his own eulogy. Here Brutus illustrates his love Rome, “not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more” (citation).
