How does rhetoric–flattery, shame, insults or belittling, fear-mongering, rhetorical appeals (if you choose this be specific: instead of logos, say the character uses reason, logic, or examples)–influence power in Julius Caesar

Explain who is manipulating whom, which rhetorical strategies are used in the persuasion (think mostly in terms of the strategies in bold above rather than rhetorical devices), how exactly these strategies are used, what is the purpose of the manipulation, and whether the manipulation is ultimately successful.


You will write a five paragraph (an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion) analysis that is a minimum of 800 words long and is in MLA format. You MUST use specific textual evidence (quotes) to support your claims, which means you need to grammatically integrate your quotes into your argument. This means you will be using a few words from the quote–not the entire quote–so that your explanation makes sense even if you remove the quotation marks.
