Michel de Montaigne in “Of Cannibals” starts his essay off with a reference. He mentions King Pyrrhus and that he has an encounter with the Roman army. He calls them barbarians with just a simple look.

The things is we tend to bite off more than we can chew at times. The point he was trying to make is that we should not just gloss over these things. To judge someone, people should do it by the way of reason and not just some common report, as he puts it. This passage was very enlightening and in a way set the tone for the rest of the essay.
