Answer: In William  Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, two speeches are given to the  people of Rome about Caesar's death. In Act 3, Scene 2 of this play Brutus and  Antony both try to sway the minds of the Romans toward their views. Brutus tried  to make the people believe he killed Caesar for a noble cause. Antony tried to  persuade the people that the conspirators committed an act of brutality toward  Caesar and were traitors. The effectiveness and ineffectiveness of both Antony's  and Brutus's speech to the people are conveyed through tone and rhetorical  devices. Â
