   Mark Antony:
   
   Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
   I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him;
   The evil that men do lives after them,
   The good is oft interred with their bones,
   So let it be with Caesar ... The noble Brutus
   Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
   If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
   And grievously hath Caesar answered it ...
   Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest,
   (For Brutus is an honourable man;
   So are they all; all honourable men)
   Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral ...
   He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
   But Brutus says he was ambitious;
   And Brutus is an honourable man….
   He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
   Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
   Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
   When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
   Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
   Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
   And Brutus is an honourable man.
   You all did see that on the Lupercal
   I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
   Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
   Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
   And, sure, he is an honourable man.
   I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
   But here I am to speak what I do know.
   You all did love him once, not without cause:
   What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?
   O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
   And men have lost their reason…. Bear with me;
   My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
   And I must pause till it come back to me.
   
   
   1. I think that he is using Ethos. He says "he was my friend, faithful and just to me", this shows that they knew each other well. He is trying to describe to the crowd that he knew him better than they did and thus knows how to classify him unlike them.
   2. He is trying to ask all the slaves and towns people to tell him why the loved him. He is trying to put across that he has not treating him well and is trying to find out why the still love him.
