The first time a child leaves home is an important milestone in every family. This principle applies to even families belonging to the nobility in the mid-eighteenth century. In Lord Chesterfield’s letter to his son, he voices many opinions about him that many parents would like to say to their children even today. Lord Chesterfield skillfully uses subliminal messages in diction, humble concessions, contradictory language, indirect threats, and demoralizing lectures to impose his values on his insubordinate son.

This obvious proposition even applies to noble families during the eighteenth-century such as Lord Chesterfield’s family.

Lord Chesterfield’s apprehensive warning shows the adoration he has for his young son, who has traveled far away from his home to receive a college education. By using anaphora and metaphor, he is informing his son that the world he is about to dive into will not always be temperate, but can easily get hot. Chesterfield, just like any other dad, truly has his son’s best interest at heart.

He “know{s}” that “advice {is} generally” “unwelcome” and he “know{s}” that its not “followed”, however he “know{s}” that teenagers still “want it.” By using anaphora he is telling his son that he accepts the fact his advice will be rejected on the outside, but will be stored in a memory bank on the inside.

He says that he is there to help and he wants his son to take his experiences and learn from them. Through rhetorical questions, he informs about the education he wants his son to have. Carefully, he develops the assertion that it is important to know about a whole topic, not just a little piece of it. This reveals Chesterfield’s value that when his son reaches beyond his peers, he will gain pleasure for being the best educated so far, but what Chesterfield really wants his son to learn is that you really accomplish nothing until you master what your learning. Therefore, Lord Chesterfield strongly develops his ideal values through rhetorical strategies.
