Says paragraph 1:
· The author talks about a prince who was abroad for a long time and who was then restored to the throne. This prince, says the text, did not sharpen his wits with these experiences.
· The author explains he has such a “shining” character it would be wrong to see past his honor and actually look at his faults and keep a record, or an “exact memory” of them.
· The author says that to honor him in his grave it is important to look past his vices, showing that those close to him have.
· To conclude, the author says that men cannot be so quick to judge when they themselves have so many vices as well.
Does paragraph 1:
· A subject is introduced along a description to let the reader know what will be discussed.
· Uncommon syntax with double negatives is employed to show a point that needs justification in order to confuse reader and throw him/her off.
· Pathos is evoked through appealing to the reader’s desire of legacy.
· Then logic is used in order to relate the topic of the subject to the reader and establish a connection
Says last paragraph:
· It is said that the position of Prince, despite looking majestic and comfortable, is a hard job and people will always be criticizing what a Prince does or does not do.
· Also, it is said that what men actually want the Prince to do is “corrupted nature” and what it allows.
· Then it is said that therefore it is appropriate to forgive the Prince for his mistakes and to cover up the bad things he did while in duty with praise rather than expose the mistakes.
· It is said that his ashes should “cover him” or more likely that his death and memory should be enough for people to stop the critiques that might not be false but are inappropriate.
Does last paragraph:
· A contrast between a preconception of something and the truth is presented to the reader.
· There is an accusation towards the audience as an attempt at justification
· A suggestion of what should be done and what should not be done is made in straightforward language.
· A figurative use of words takes place and imagery is used in the end to give some emotion and feeling to the piece.
