Flashcards: Syntax
From Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, III.ii.13-33 (1599)
[This is a speech by Brutus to a crowd at Caesar’s funeral.]
Romans, countrymen, and lovers! Hear me for my
cause, and be silent, that you may hear. Believe me
for mine honor, and have respect to mine honor, that
you may believe. Censure me in your wisdom, and
awake your senses, that you may the better judge.
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
Caesar's, to him I say that Brutus' love to Caesar
was no less than his. If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;
as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was
valiant, I honor him; but as he was ambitious, I
slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his
fortune, honor for his valor, and death for his
ambition. Who is here so base that would be a
bondman? If any, speak, for him have I offended.
Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If
any, speak, for him have I offended. Who is here so
vile that will not love his country? If any, speak,
for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.
By what grammatical device does Brutus construct the parallelism found in the underlined sentences?
By using the imperative mood, following each order with an explanation
By only speaking with forceful language
By addressing the crowd in a frank, honest manner
By using short, punctuated sentences
By increasingly appealing to emotions through rhetorical devices
