In his own letter to his son, Lord Chesterfield delivers numerous opinions that many parents today would still agree with. In a tactful way, Lord Chesterfield sends subconscious messages through personification, diction, analogy, and rhetorical questions in order to impose his values on his incompliant son. It’s incredibly evident to the reader that Lord Chesterfield’s son takes advantage of him and this letter is probably Lord Chesterfield’s last effort to guide his son.
