PERSUASION
For though fond nature bids us all lament,Yet nature’s tears are reason’s merriment.
—Friar to Juliet’s parents when they believe Juliet is dead.
What type of rhetoric?
EXAMPLES FROM ROMEO AND
JULIET
LOGOSFriar is using logic and reason to
convince the Capulets not to be sad. He says that because we are human, we weep, but reason should help us
because we know Juliet is in Heaven.
ANSWER
Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, profaners of the neigh or-stained steel—
Will they not hear: What, ho! You men, you beasts,
That quench the fire of your pernicious rage
With purple fountains issuing from your veins!
--Prince when addressing the fighters in the street
WHAT TYPE OF RHETORIC?
PathosAppeal to emotion by using
loaded words. These words are meant to evoke feelings. These words will shame the villains
involved and anger the citizens against violent acts.
ANSWER
Prince: Benvolio, who began this bloody fray?
Benvolio: Tybalt, here slain, who Romeo’s hand did slay,
Romeo that spoke him fair, bid him bethink
How nice the quarrel was, and urged withal
Your high displeasure.
WHICH TYPE OF RHETORIC?
ETHOSBenvolio is a trustworthy man, which is why the Prince asked his opinion. Then Benvolio speaks of the respect Romeo had for the Prince’s warning.
Both are examples of the use of ethos.

Sailing in this salt flood; the winds, thy sighs,Who, raging with thy tears and they with them,
without a sudden calm will oversetThy tempest-tossed body….
DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS
LITERARY DEVICE?
We call this metaphor an extended one. An extended metaphor is a comparison that is carried out in a series of
sentences or lines.
The previous passage is also called a conceit because it is an unlikely comparison. Who would imagine a comparison
between a boat and a girl?
Can you think of a comparison Shakespeare uses several different times in Romeo and Juliet?

Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave
man.--Mercutio
