Describe The Relationship Between Edmund And Juliar

436 Words2 Pages

Edmund is feeling lonely and confused in the position where he is right now. He feels like he should not allow his fate giving by the gods to dictate the course of his life. He does not want to feel oppressed from obtaining that which he desires because he is as well rounded and as good as his brother Edgar, the legitimate son. In the second way of performing this monologue, Edmund will be having a low pitch because it will demonstrate a lack of enthusiasm which reflects back to Edmund feeling lonely and confused. Edmund says, “[…] my mind as generous, and my shape as true, as honest madam’s issue? Why brand they us with base?” We are able to see that Edmund believes that he is just as smart and good looking as Edgar, then he questions why is he being label as a bastard? Why is he being deprived of legal rights as a son of Gloucester? Why do people think that he is inferior to Edgar? Why does his father love Edgar more …show more content…

At the same time, Edmund is also being sincere, when he delivers his final words because he is speaking from his heart. His final words in the monologue are, “[…] Well then, legitimate Edgar, I must have your land, our father’s love is to the bastard Edmund, […] I grow, I prosper. Now gods stand up for the bastards.” Edmund will be having a slightly higher pitch, when he says, “I grow, I prosper” because he is finally perceiving his happy ending in a life that until then has only being a tragedy. He can also be a little bit pitiful, when he says, “our father’s love is to the bastard Edmund” because this demonstrates that the only thing he has ever wanted is to be recognize and love by his father. Edmund is sad that the fate giving to him is the one of a bastard. He calls upon the gods to stand up now for bastards by helping him achieve his

    2004 AP English Language & Composition Free-Response Questions: Question 1 In the 1746 letter to his young son, Lord Chesterfield asserts to his son the importance of taking the full advantage of education in achieving excellence through the usage of various rhetorical features such as understatement, irony, and rhetorical questions. Throughout the first paragraph, Lord Chester repetitively uses understatements to establish a tone of sympathy. By acknowledging that parental advice is often“ascribed to the moroseness, the imperiousness, or the garrulity of old age” in lines 3 to 8, Chesterfield seeks to build an illusion of understanding with his son, setting the scene to present his assertions in disguise of friendly advice.

  • Ethos Pathos And Logos In Hamlet's Soliloquy

    1765 Words  | 8 Pages

    When applied correctly, soliloquies successfully allow the reader to experience characters in their most vulnerable state: within their own minds. Hamlet is no exception to this principle, as Shakespeare’s mastery of rhetoric in establishing the main character’s inner conflict provides depth and rawness to his complex character. In this well-known soliloquy, Shakespeare employs logos to acknowledge that death can be both a relief and nightmare due to natural human emotions; accordingly, Hamlet personifies a severe case of teenage depression by simultaneously wishing for an end to suffering yet remaining hesitant to act on his own thoughts due to his fear of the unknown.         Throughout this passage, Hamlet attempts to rationalize ending his life over continuing to endure the painful reality of his existence. The parallelism in this particular soliloquy serves several rhetorical purposes, including the development of an implicit contrast between Hamlet’s mental state and the actual organization of his thoughts.

As she reasons about her answer, Cordelia also expresses her compassion towards her father through a hyperbole by stating, “Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave my heart into my mouth” (Lear 1.1.93-94). Justifying her response, Cordelia expresses that her love towards him cannot be properly expressed as she contrasts how he has “begot [her], fed [her], loved [her]” and in return she “obeyed [him], loved [him], and most honored [him]” to show that she loves her fathers as much as their relationship requires (Lear 1.1.99-101). Though she speaks from her heart, Lear ultimately rejects her argument, recognizing that she is not worthy of his wealth as expressed through his belittling tone. As a result, Lear blesses his kingdom upon his ungrateful, lying daughters who he believes to have loved him the most when in fact, he exiled the only daughter to have truly loved him.
