    In Elizabeth Browning’s pleading letter to Napoleon III, Elizabeth uses many rhetorical devices in order to convince the Emperor of France to pardon Hugo. She flatters His Majesty Napoleon III in an attempt to win his goodwill. Second, she uses syntax in order to create an intelligent letter. Finally, she thoroughly explains her purposes to Napoleon.

In lines 26-27 she flatters his role as guardian of French glories “the Emperor who is the guardian of her other glories should remember him and not leave him out”. Finally, she commits an almost heretical comparison between Napoleon and God himself.…
