1. Shakespeare wrote Act III, scene ii, of Julius Caesar so that the audience would find Mark Antony's speech convincing. However, his audience is made up of fictional characters.

to an audience that was not fictional. Provide reasons and examples of Antony's rhetorical
appeals to support your argument (15 points)
