In julius Caesar Act1 ,Scene 2 Cassius is a jealousy person.I think the theme was Jealousy because Cassius trying to make Ceasar friend go against him. It's like hre afraid of him..this is a sign of pathos becuse Casssius is hating on Ceasar Because he might be king.but in the txt he didnt accept it ..Because he didnt want any high power like that..Cassius is just imature, hatterand a punk for trying to get friends to go against firends.
I think Julius Caesar is mainly Lgogs because they sentences they say in the story is logic to the whole world. For example-Like the characters all have comversations about other people in the story and they would find out interesting information. Plus, the characters are trying to be strong but show something they hide.
the man cassius is a very slick and sneaky man. he was succesful in turning brutus against caesar. he used ethos, pathos, and logos in order to get inside his mind. he said a quote that made perfect sense so that brutus would understand were cassius was comming from. so in the end he went against himself and turned into a follower
Ethos is the most effective appeal out of the three in the rhetorical triangle.the reason being is cause Cassius persuaded Brutus to go againt Caesar.he used his trust to get into his head and made him think that Caesar was the bad guy in this but he just wannted Brustus to rule Rome with him.But instead he turned against Caesear and everything changed...
in this story they used a lot of ethos, pathos, and logos. some ethos were when like when they were in the Tiber. Ceasar trusted Cassius to be able to save him if anything were to happen. Also for pathos he probably thought if I do this for him he will be greatful and owe me one in return. Last logos is used because he knows if he helps him it will be the right thing to do.
Shakespear mastered Logos, because Cassius uses it in almost every sentance that comes out of his mouth, he always tries to be logical with Brutus to get him to join his side against Caeser. Act 1 Scene 2 summarized: Cassius talks Brutus into going against Caesar but doesn't say how just yet.
Cassius used all of the rhetorical appeals very well but i think he used pathos and ethos the best. He used Ethos by making Brutus trust him even though Brutus know it was wrong. He used Pathos by making him feel like he is being loved.
Summary:
Cassius is trying to make Brutus feel good about himself by saying its to bad you cant see the excellence in your self. He is trying to make Brutus trust him and do something he knows he shouldn't do. Cassius is giving Brutus honor which is something Brutus wants to have when he dies. Brutus is starting to believe what Cassius is saying about Caesar.
The Summary of this Scene, Act I Scene II, from the book "Julius Caesar" By William Shakespeare. It starts off with Brutus and Cassius making conversation. Throughout this story Cassius is attempting to get into Brutus' head. Cassius appears to want to get rid of Caesar and put himself in the place of power by way of using Brutus to get there. Almost every sentence said by Cassius is saying things I determine as "I know you, and I know what's best FOR you." Brutus gives thought to this and seems to be convinced but we don't know it he is swayed yet in the story.
Duing this tragic trust aka ethos of this play trust play a big part in this bercause if ceaser didnt not trust himself he wouldn't be able to back himself up. But then agin ethos, pathos, and logos all play big parts in this play because his emotions " He rather die honable then die dishonorable" they were words to remerber what this story my repersent.
To me it just isn't ethos or pathos or logos its all 3 of them. Cassius spoke with persuassion of emotion (pathos), logic (logos) and trust (ethos). He tried to tell Brutes that he could trust him because he saved a life before so if you go down I can save yours too. With pathos he tried to make him feel like he was better than Ceaser. That he had nothing that he diddn't have. And logos it was logical that when Ceaser jumped into the water and asked for help Cassius was going to help.
The whole time Cassius was trying to perssuade Brutes to do something that they both new was wrong. Brutes said he would think about it. He said he is scared of not having honor than death.
Ethos A trumpet sounds. CAESAR enters, followed by ANTONY, dressed formally for a foot race, then CALPHURNIA, PORTIA, DECIUS, CICERO, BRUTUS, CASSIUS, and CASCA. A great crowd follows, among them a SOOTHSAYER

In act1 se2 caesar was bearly in the scene. Cassius was talking to brutus about doing something that he didnt wat to do.
i think that cassius was trying to convince him to kill caeser.
will be contined later
Well in this wonderfull story by William Shakespeare their are so many characters especially Cassius trying to act as a great innocent noble man but trully he was using every rehtorical appeal towards Brutus to make him go against the new king Caesar. Pathos works by going awainst his emotions, ethos by making him trust Cassius, and logic by trying to say is logical that what a king does anyone can do.
In act 1, cean 2: Caeesar becomes the king and Cassius is not happy and he is trying to become king himself he wants power so he goes to Brutus. Brutus is the kings best friend so Cassius tells Brutus why should he be king the power would change him we need someone that we can trust and be their for us.
i feel that the appeal he used best was ethos. i think he used ethos the best beecause of the way he expressed the story in which way i read it and took an understanding to it.In the story cassiuos was trying to convience bruttus to join him and trust him threwout the hole story.
well to me what his story was really about was a great leader and how everyone liked him. But there was one guy that wanted everything he had and he would rather die onerably then dishonerablely. so he tryed to plot a plan to take over and have everything he wants but from their he started by trying to bring this guy to his plan,and it went on from their.
Cassius used ethos, pathos, and logos very well. But he had used ethos the best. I only say this is because he cares for himself and himself only.
In this scene Caesar was walking and some dude cant remember his name said beware of march 15 then cassius and brutus were talkin then the end.
ethos was used the most because cassius needed to make brutus to trust him so that he could caryy out his plan to kill caesar.
my summary
it starts off with caesar walking with his group and a man in the crowed calls his name and tells him to beware of march 15th. long story short cassius is trying to persued brutus into doing something bad.
