Tim and Antony's funeral speech were very similar in rhetoric. Both repeated names and things that had occurred, and why the person that was dead died. In each speech, they started off calm, and ended up passionate about what they were saying. In both situations, they incited a riot, and inspired people to be enlightened on a subject they already knew, but didn't want to admit. The main difference in the speeches is that Antony knew exactly what he was doing, and Tim did not. Antony had planned what he was going to say, and knew how to manipulate the citizens into doing what he wanted. On the other hand, Tim had no intentions on giving a speech, and had no clue what his words would ignite.
