    The speaker is using Irony, Logos type of rhetoric device to persuade the audience.

    Explanation:

    One of the rhetorical devices used in the speech by "Mark Antony" in Julius Caesar by Shakespeare is 'Irony'. Irony is when something that is happening is opposite to what is expected to happen. He said that people believed that Caesar was ambitious, but the irony is that he wasn't. He called Brutus a noble man.

    Speaker gives several proofs using 'Logos' rhetoric device to prove that Caesar was not ambitious. He gave many reasons to prove the same to the audience. According to him, he would have enslaved all the Roman citizens and become a dictator in case he had lived.
