| Summary: | Utopia repeatedly sets forth the rhetorical strategy of using pleasant and healing words to "enter" or "flow" or "steal into" (influere) fortresses of hardened opinion and custom without arousing warlike passions to keep them out. An important part of this strategy is the creation of a character who denounces major instances and causes of injustice but who nonetheless supports war and other means of force at the expense of law in rectifying that injustice; another part of the strategy is the creation of a character and a plot that embody the "indirect" rhetorical approach aimed primarily at long-term persuasion needed to improve laws and institutions. |
