The Paston Letters Stephanie Boling, Rachel Gray, Ashleigh Veasley
April 1471 • The tone of this passage is hopeful and informative. He is informing his mother of his brother’s condition and is optimistic that he will return to his full health. • 15 September 1471 • The tone of this passage is serious and pleading. He is begging that his relatives don not catch the widespread plague that is claiming the lives of many in his mother’s town.
If John’s brother had died, it probably would have been damaging to his psyche. • It became evident that the symptoms of the plague were not psychosomatic in nature because many people were dying of it. • Hopefully John’s brother will not suffer from psychotic behavior because of his injury.
John’s brother did not exude pusillanimous behavior when he was shot with the arrow. • John did not heap animadversion towards the person who shot his brother; he was just ecstatic that he was still alive. • Had John’s brother been shot in the spine he may have been paralyzed and left as an inanimate being.
