I have to write a literary analysis on the book, The Monk by Matthew Lewis which was written in 1794 but in the style of about 1530-50....

I have been asked specifically to elaborate on the verisimilitudinal aspects of the comparison of speech patterns of the time of the Spanish Inquisition, the time of Lewis and how it translates in contemporary english.


Verisimilitude is trying to articulate how a false theory could be closer to the truth than other false theories.

Damn I love this shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

But don't you first have to figure out what the truth is? And who gets to decide that?:-/

Just evaluate previous theory and improve on it.
