Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 14   AIL 1309 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The Argument of the Speech

Captions available

The idea

It proceeds as a case: a question posed, one course described, an objection raised, and the objection's consequence drawn out. Unit nine read a sonnet this way and unit thirteen read Hamlet's prayer speech the same way. The method does not change.

In practice

Question, course, objection, consequence.

Where people slip

The same method as the sonnet unit.
