Mark Antony uses a subtle and eloquent tone in his speech. This is in contrast to the rational tone of Brutus's speech.
"Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Lend me your ears!"
The most obvious example of an oratorical piece of William Shakespeare's is the "Friends, Romans, and Countrymen..." speech in the play, "Julius Caesar." In this speech, Marc Antony is addressing a crowd of people.
The crowd reacts to Antony's famous "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" speech by causing a riot and making the conspirators run for their lives. This was exactly what Antony intended. This was the meaning of "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war"
"O me! This sight of death is as a bell that warns my old age to a sepulchre."
Hard to say, really, since a great many people misunderstand it. It is not the first well-known quotation from the famous balcony scene. That would be "What light through yonder window breaks?" One theory might be that it is remembered as the first line of an excellent speech for Juliet, in the same way that people remember the first line of an excellent speech for Hamlet, "To be or not to be, that is the question?", or the first line of an excellent speech for Mark Antony, "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears!" People used to memorize and deliver these Shakespearean speeches at amateur shows or to entertain people at parties. The number of speeches which people learned and delivered in this way was actually rather small, and rarely exceeded one per play, if that, so that people would say, "Oh yes, Romeo and Juliet. That's the play that has the speech that starts 'Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo', isn't it?"
"Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Lend me your ears!"
The opening "Romans, countrymen, and lovers, lend me your ears" is from Mark Antony's speech in William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar." In this scene, Antony addresses the citizens of Rome after Caesar's assassination to turn the crowd against the conspirators.
In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, a play by Shakespeare, this is (mostly) the beginning of an often quoted speech by Mark Antony. The speech begins:"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him."
Not in real life. Remember Shakespeare was a playwright, a dramatic writer. Although he wrote on historical subjects, he was providing entertainment. He fictionalized and embellished historical data. However in real life Marc Antony did give Caesar's funeral oration and it started a riot. (Besides, "friends, Romans, countrymen" was no way for a Roman orator to begin a speech)
Marc Antony made a spurious tribute to Julius Caesar after his assassination. His speech began, Friends, Romans, Countrymen. I come not to bury Caesar, but to praise him.
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears The first line of a famous and often-quoted speech by Mark Antony in the play Julius Caesar
The most obvious example of an oratorical piece of William Shakespeare's is the "Friends, Romans, and Countrymen..." speech in the play, "Julius Caesar." In this speech, Marc Antony is addressing a crowd of people.
If you mean the speech which starts "Romans, countrymen and lovers! Hear me for my cause", he is presenting a justification for why he and his fellow conspirators assassinated Caesar.
It is a monologue.To understand better, when the speech is delivered within the story (as in it is intended for other characters to hear), it is a monologue (think the "Friends, Romans, countrymen..." speech from Julius Caesar). On the other hand, if the speech is directed to the "fourth wall", intended for the audience, then it is a soliloquy(think the "To be or not to be..." speech from Hamlet).
The crowd reacts to Antony's famous "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" speech by causing a riot and making the conspirators run for their lives. This was exactly what Antony intended. This was the meaning of "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war"
In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, the murder of Caesar takes place in Act III Scene i. Act III Scene ii is the scene containing Caesar's funeral and Antony's famous speech, "Friends, Romans, Countrymen"
Because he had the same name as one of the conspirators
