It is during the falling action
No it is not a iambic word
One characteristic of Enlightenment that is seen in this excerpt is that people should be guided by the reason and not irrational fears, however serious they may seem to be. The protagonist/author of the diary seems to be the only cool-headed person in this terrible situation. Everybody else is freaking out, running about and screaming. He notices multiple times that nobody is making any effort to actually quench the fire. He is the one who goes to warn the king and suggests that houses should be pulled down. There is one very interesting remark about Lord Mayor, who is in a panic just like everyone else: "To the King's message he cried, like a fainting woman..." Misogyny aside, this comment shows the speaker's manly, reasonable, commendable attitude. He is an active person who does something to undo the damage, and not just a passive observer or a coward who runs away in panic.
A diary entry was a fitting form during the Enlightenment period because that was the first time that the words and opinions of a more or less ordinary person were deemed important. A diary has this risk of being a subjective collection of personal impressions. But Pepys' diary pretends to be highly objective because its author sees himself as a reasonable man, important in his own right, competent enough to keep a diary and record some important things that happen around him, to other ordinary people.
Emotive language in the speech is rife as it is a war call.
Explanation:
Churchill was one of the finest at rhetoric in the nation of Britain when he wanted to do a rally call in terms of the speech to rally his troops for the fight in the world war.
This is the speech that was delivered and it was rather emotive in its content.
Blood Toil, Tears, and Sweat is in the speech "We shall fight on the beaches" but in a later version specifically written for the radio.
The original speech did not contain this allusion.
