| Abstract | ||
| Language and Rhetoric work together so as to make the speech of a character, in a literary text, persuasive for others. The persuasive strategies mostly relate to the culture of the speaker through his preference to this (or that) strategy among other available strategies of persuasion. Such choice of persuasion is clearly shown in the dialogue between the characters of Stephen Blackpool and Mr. Bounderby in Dickens’ Hard Times, chapter 21. Also, the study deals with the Evaluations given by the characters to each other, and Dickens’ evaluations and comments to the speech and actions of these characters. The writer produces careful evaluation to the Victorian period via the speech and attitudes of the characters towards the predominant conditions of that period. | ||
