This question asks for an essay, which is a personal task that only you can complete. However, we are still able to provide some guidance that can help you complete your work.

In her "Letter to Napoleon III," Elizabeth Barrett Browning employs several rhetorical strategies to urge Napoleon III to forgive the author Victor Hugo and free him from his imprisonment.

Browning uses ethos when she presents herself as a fair person. Ethos refers to an appeal to credibility, and Browning employs it when she agrees with Napoleon about the wrong nature of Victor Hugo's actions. She also employs a paradox to force Napoleon to pay close attention to her argument. The paradox is that, even though Victor Hugo acted against the emperor, he deserves to be free. Browning employs anaphora when she repeats the phrase "what touches you" in order to convince Napoleon of the importance of his reputation. Finally, she uses pathos (an appeal to emotion) when she highlights how grateful and admiring Napoleon's subjects will be if he pardons Victor Hugo.

How does priestly present mr Birling as a selfish character ?
Anika [276]
One instance of selfishness is with the Birling family, who appear to live in their own “comfortable” bubble of wealth and avarice, which inhibits and warps their views of the world. For instance, the stage directions describe the “suburban” Birling family home as “pink and intimate”. The use of the adjective “pink” connotes ‘rose tinted spectacles’; the sense that the Birling family has a nostalgic, anachronistic and out-of-touch perception of the world, implying they are detached from the realities of modern Britain. This feeling is further augmented when the Inspector arrives and shatters their rapacious ignorance. The lighting changes drastically, going to “brighter and harder”. The implication of such a change is that the Inspector is shining a light (as though in a police interrogation) on areas the Birlings had never previously seen (because of the ignorance afforded to them by their greed and selfishness).
