Explain Brutus's reasons for killing Caesar in the speech in the second scene, and how he persuades the audience to sympathize with his reasons. Cite evidence in you answer

In the speech, Brutus tries to convince the audience that he killed Caesar for the good of Rome and its citizens.

Explanation:

  Brutus appeals to the feelings of the crowd and even questions them because of their pride in being Roman.

What he seeks is to persuade the crowd, and this way not to be judged for having risen up against Caesar and to have betrayed him for being so close to him. That is why he tells his listeners that his reasons were honorable and that he did it exclusively for all of them.

He tries to show that what he did was for the good of the people and that anyone who wants to judge him would be admitting in some way that they feel like a slave.

Here we can see Brutus using Pathos, by going to the emotions of his audience to achieve his goal.
