“I am not here to represent Leonidas. His actions speak louder than my words ever could”, although Queen Gorgo believes this to be true, it is evident that her words still make quite the impact. The speech that was chosen for analysis was Queen Gorgo’s request of Sparta’s council to send their forces to the Battle of Thermopylae, from the movie 300.

Through the use of pathos, metaphors, and an urgent tone, Queen Gorgo is able to make a strong case to the council as to why they should aid King Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae.

He uses ¨imposing¨ which means striking, the king is striking the people with taxes. Thomas Jefferson also uses ¨depriving¨, he uses this word because it means denying. Thomas Jefferson uses this word because the king is denying it people and he wants to point

Not only to portray her views but to also support her views and help make other if not already on the same viewing will convince them on her views.

In the speech, although it's primary purpose is to pay respects to his sister; he uses the opportunity to promote Diana's charity work, and to raise controversy within the royal family.
