Name the type, enumerate the distinctive features and
comment upon the following auctorial digressions:
a.
Vanity! How little is thy force acknowledged or thy
operations discerned! How wantonly dost thou deceive
mankind under different disguises! Sometimes thou dost
wear the face of pity, sometimes of generosity: nay, thou hast
the assurance even to put on those glorious ornaments which
belong only to heroic virtue. Thou odious, deformed
monster!… [
Fielding
]
b.
Oh, thou poor panting little soul! The very finest tree in the
whole forest, with the straightest stem, and the strongest
arms, and the thickest foliage, wherein you choose to build
and coo, may be marked, for what you know, and may be
down with a crash ere long. What an old, old simile that is,
between man and timber! [
Thackeray
]
