(Apex) He mentions Caesar's will but initially refuses to read it.
Anticipation
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears." This quotation from Mark Antony's speech in William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" is an example of anticipation as a persuasive technique because it grabs the attention of the audience and builds anticipation for what Antony is about to say next.
Antony's use of anticipation as a persuasive technique is when he mentions that Caesar's will contains gifts for the people of Rome but delays revealing the specifics until later in his speech. This builds suspense and keeps the audience engaged, creating anticipation for what is to come.
Anticipation
"But here's a parchment with the seal of Caesar; I found it in his closet, 'tis his will: Let but the commons hear this testament — Which, pardon me, I do not mean to read."
Antony employs the technique of rhetorical suspense when he mentions Caesar's will but withholds its contents. This tactic generates curiosity and anticipation among the crowd, making them eager to hear what Caesar has left for them. By not revealing the will immediately, Antony manipulates the audience's emotions, enhancing their desire to know more and aligning them with his perspective against the conspirators. This strategy effectively stirs the crowd's feelings of loyalty and outrage.
