As the daughter of Dave the Potter, I find John C. Calhoun's speech advocating for slavery as a "positive good" deeply troubling. Calhoun's persistent repetition of the same argument seemed to be an attempt to find comfort in the similarity of his oratory, rather than truly engaging with the issue at hand. His unwavering determination to present slavery as beneficial, as evidenced in speeches like "Slavery as a Positive Good" and "Remarks Made on His Recent Resolutions to the U.S. Senate,"…

The conditions of Germany and capitalism could have possessed the complete driving force for the sightless obedience to Hitler and his oratory talents.

The way that Franklin describes the Native American people are as people who do not wish to cause conflict, hard workers with each person having…

However, Beowulf was written as an epic, so the platform that is used to boast of his credentials as a hero is very similar to oratory lore. “Who valuable gift-gems of the Geatmen carried As peace-offering thither, that he thirty men’s grapple, Has in his hand, the hero-in-battle.God hath sent him to our rescue. The holy Creator usward sent him”(stanza 15 lines 8-11)”. A significant…

Othello’s soliloquy in Act 3 scene 3 (257-70), can be described as the dramatic climacteric of the play. The oratory reveals his most private thoughts, trepidations, and frailty of the mind. This speech marks the juncture where Othello fights an intense internal turmoil before succumbing to Iago's lies.
