Hi Aidan, thanks! Does anyone notice this quote? "You may as well do anything most hard As seek to soften that than which what's harder- -His Jewish heart." The alliteration is used to make an impression that the Jewish heart is hard. The break(caesure) also draws extra attentions and emphasizes the blame for the Jewish. I'm not very sure of the terms I used. What do you think of the rhetoric effects in this quote?

[@DrAidan]

That is a good analysis. Shakespeare uses the same alliteration in King Lear when he writes ‘Is there any cause in nature that make these hard hearts?’ You also make a good point when you notice the caesura: this prompts the character to pause because he’s trying to think of anything harder than a Jewish heart. Great to read this type of analysis.
