Abstract

We analyze manipulation in public discourse through the Shakespearean drama Julius Caesar, and J.L. Mankiewicz’s film version. As the focus of the discourse is placed on the action, well designed coherent arguments in the discourse become less useful than emotional appeals and striking images. It hides the truth with brilliant but pernicious rhetoric. When confronted with a manipulating discourse, only active participation, without giving up rhetorical argumentation, can keep up our guard against manipulation in a critical, rational and reasonable way.
