Caesars Speech in Julius Caesar -- William Shakespeare

The Irrefutable ManThe Shakespearean play Julius Caesar, tells the behind the scenes account of the conspirators plan to kill the influential ruler, Caesar. In the play Caesar makes a oral communication referring to himself and describes his method of ruling Rome while comparing himself to the North Star. precedent to the destination the conspirators have come to the Senate to convince Caesar to forgive and restore Cimber after his banishment. But Caesar responds with this livery about him being persistent about his decisions. The speech that Caesar makes about himself can be considered an Epideictic or a Forensic speech, for the lawsuit that he commends himself while creating an opinion of his past actions. This excerpt from the play leads up to the devious conspirators plan unfolding and the upsetting death of Caesar. Rhetoric is utilise throughout the speech in order to manipulate and convey how unvanquishable Caesar is as well as express the overall theme of the play, be means of delivery, disposition, and style.Delivery is used to persuade others by the way the speech is performed. It can be presented in ways such as tone, voice, emotion, and raft in order to convince the audience where he stands. An example of Caesar laudatory himself by using a tone change to make for sure the attention is on him is, I could be well moved if I were as you, If I could pray to move, prayers would move, here he is saying that if he were in the Senates situation that he could easily be persuaded by Caesars oration, which gets the attention of the Senate and gives Caesar the floor (3,1,58 & 59). While Caesar says these lines it creates a picture in my mind of Caesar gesturing toward himself and the pride he has in his voice. Another example of Caesars delivery of thi... ...ler champion, which represents the commoners of Rome, with one larger star that represents Caesar. Using figurative delivery and imagery in speeches adds to the excitement of the scene, and in this case, the theme of the play, being helping vs. free will.With this speech, Caesar seals his fate. After disregarding three separate warnings that his life would be in danger and he still goes to the Senate that day, Caesar sits surrounded by the noblemen and denies their communicate to revoke the banishment of Cimber. He denies fate and believes that his free will is comely to save him. His ego and self-importance grows stronger by the word, as he compares himself to the brightest star in the sky. He is stabbed to death by men who, until they were convinced otherwise, had been sure to Rome and Caesar. By the end of the play, Caesars supercilious opinion of himself proves true.
