"The arguments which is made by a man's life is of more weight than that which is furnished by words". -Isocrates
Chapter 6 is devoted to rhetorical virtue. As Heinrich notes, “It can spring from a truly noble person or be faked by the skillful rhetorician. Rhetoric is an agnostic act; it requires more adaptation than righteousness” (65). Values are adapted to those of the audience. A rhetor can augment rhetorical virtue by bragging, having others brag on his or her behalf, revealing a tactical flaw, and switching sides. I was able to understand converting characters into a tool of persuasion.
