Brutus repeatedly says, "If any man speak, for him have I offended" (III.ii.25). Brutus' tactic is to try to force someone, or challenge them, to disagree with him, which no one ends up doing. Brutus tries to make people fear him, which works for a short period of time. Mark Antony, on the other hand, goes on the attack, rather than the defense, repeatedly saying, “Yet Brutus said he was ambitious; And... he is an honorable man." (III.ii.89-90). Moving on to the offensive side, Mark Antony uses the repetition of this extreme use of irony and sarcasm to make the audience understand that all of this is the fault of Brutus and that he should be punished for his crimes, whatever his intentions. Both groups use similar rhetorical strategies to demonstrate that Caesar should or should not have died for what he did, with different results also emotional appeals to persuade their audience that they are right about their esteemed one's death
