Question
read the excerpt from thomas paines work \the crisis\ no. 1.
britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to tax) but \to bind us in all cases whatsoever,\ and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth....
... neither have i so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that he has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as i do not, i cannot see on what grounds the king of britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house - breaker, has as good a pretence as he.
the words \slavery,\ \devils,\ and \murderer\ evoke a sense of
anger and injustice.
fear and anxiety.
confusion and chaos.
guilt and shame.
The words "slavery," "devils," and "murderer" are all negative and evoke strong emotions. "Slavery" implies a lack of freedom and injustice. "Devils" are associated with evil and malevolence. "Murderer" is a criminal who takes a life, which is an unjust act. These words together suggest a sense of anger at the unjust situation (like slavery) and the evil (devils, murderer - used metaphorically for the king's actions) being described. They don't primarily evoke fear (as there's more of a condemnation than a cowering fear), confusion (the message is rather clear in its condemnation), or guilt (the focus is on the wrongdoers - Britain, not on the speaker or the colonists feeling guilty).
