This week we continue the conversation around Jess’s research into “Confessions of a Thugge” and it’s relationship to King Lear, as well as why rhetorical questions present a unique opportunity for audience contact. The Rhetorical Device Revisited, then, is erotema (the rhetorical question, obvi). We also discuss the nuances of competition and competitiveness in our on-going How to Grad School segment, and gossip about the ongoing protest of the Williams College English Department. Thanks for joining us!
