Antony’s funeral speech was more persuasive than Brutus’s speech because Antony mourned Caesar, discredited Brutus’s claims of Caesar's ambition, and appealed to the common Roman people. Antony mourned Caesar after he was dead. He said, “He was my friend, faithful and just to me.” Being able to mourn for a lost friend shows that Antony had some regret about Caesar’s death. He also discredits Brutus, In Brutus’s speech, he tells the people that Caesar was too ambitious, so he had to be stopped. However, Antony responds to that by telling everyone that Caesars refused the crown three times and that an ambitious person wouldn't do that. This causes the people to distrust Brutus. Finally, Antony appealed to the common people of Rome or the plebeians.
