Rhetorical Context in Cicero's Orations

"How important was the rhetorical Context of Cicero's orations: his listener's fear of Catiline's conspiracy and army?"


Cicero
     In my opinion, the rhetorical context of Cicero's orations was undeniably important in making his listeners afraid of Catiline's conspiracy and army!

     Rhetorical context is what made his speeches so fantastic!  I don't think that he would have gotten very far in his orations had he not used such good rhetoric.  Using outstanding rhetorical context was an amazing gift that he held in his possession, and he used it to stir up the emotions of many.  He had an advantage that no other man in history possessed.

     Thanks so much for reading, and please let me know what you think!
