Very eerie and starch in tone, he states “What I propose here . . . is a sketch of a new modus legendi” (11). Because he starts with this statement he shows his motives blatantly as he wants to bombard the possessive walls of convention and comfort (11). The fact that he unveils his points potential flaws and posing such a hypocritical question, causes an uncomfortable anxiety that sit in the back of his readers minds. The impression that the motive to crush these “walls of convention and comfort” reappears in his ending passage. His diction and tone, leaves its seriousness that has been apparent throughout much of the essay and changes to a provoking and playful yet once again grim, serious demeanor toward the readers. You could imagine a smirking Cohen as he states phrases like “surely they must, for if they did not, then how could we?”(28). This ending statement that almost arises a burning frustration towards cohen for even proposing the topic and being so hypocritical in the first
