Chapter 97 Arouse the interest of the audience through comparison

The following text is McCauley's sentence on Charles I.You can notice that McCauley not only uses figurative language, but also pays attention to maintaining the balance of sentence structure.In addition, its stark and strong contrast keeps the audience interested.It can be said that strong contrast works in the text as brick and plaster do in the wall: Here we sue Charles for breaking his oath of office.Moreover, he is also unfaithful to the marriage!Yes, we prosecuted him, he was the one who abandoned people to hot-headed priests, and people have suffered since then; and his only response to this was to take his little son in his arms and kiss him affectionately!Yes, we cannot help condemning him for profaning the Bill of Rights, which he had promised to obey; and we have heard that he is now in the habit of hearing the prayers every morning at six o'clock!On account of these behaviors, together with his wide jagged collar, handsome face, and pointed beard, we agree that he has fallen into disrepute with the contemporary public.
