Consider: To those who saw him often he seemed almost like two men: one the merry
monarch of the hunt and banquet and procession, the friend of children, the patron of
every kind of sport; the other the cold, acute observer of the audience chamber or the
Council, watching vigilantly, weighing arguments, refusing except under the stress of
great events to speak his own mind.

Peoples

1. Churchill draws attention to the contrasting sides of Henry VIII through detail.
How is the impact of this sentence strengthened by the order of the details
presentation?
2. What is Churchill's attitude toward Henry? What specific details reveal this
attitude?

Respuesta :

Henry's more lighthearted side is presented in descending order of significance. He is first an observer, then a friend of children, then a patron of sports, and finally, he is a friend of children, details that give him a softness but keep a connection to his responsibilities. Henry's other side is presented in an order of decreasing importance. He is first an observer, then a friend of nature.

Churchill has a cool, fair disposition. He demonstrates the two aspects of Henry's personality with phrases that have equal weights for each detail. The jovial monarch is balanced by the chilly, astute observer; the child-friendly monarch is balanced by the watcher and weigher; and the sport-loving monarch is balanced by the objector. The reader can exercise restraint and remain receptive to potential character development thanks to the reader-to-detail ratio.
