Introduction
Compare and contrast the oratorical skills of Martin Luther King and Winston Churchill in their speeches. Introduction Martin Luther King's renowned phrase "I have a dream" and Churchill's equally celebrated "We shall fight" may first appear to be evoking different ideas. This is because, with the former quote coming from a black clergymen leading a non-violent revolution, arousing ideas of hope and determination and the latter being delivered by a white, Head of State leading defence, implying violence and fortitude, these contrasting quotes may evoke a whole host of differences from the neutrals perspective. But after further analysis, from the perspective of political rhetoric, they appear to have much more in common. It is the purpose of this essay to compare and contrast the oratory skills of Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King in their speeches, in order to assess the similarities and differences in the methods of political rhetoric employed. Churchill's "We Shall Fight Them on the Beaches" speech delivered to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on June 4, 1940 during the Second World War shall be analysed alongside Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech, delivered on August 28, 1963 in Washington, USA during the American Civil Rights Movement. It it is vital to comprehend that although the speeches are performed under different cultural conditions (there is a twenty three year time gap between them, with this chasm being further widened by the fact that the political leaders have come from polarised social backgrounds) they are both in this case, vying for the same cause under Aristotle's three genres of rhetoric; deliberative, forensic and epideictic. This is because both speeches fall into the 'deliberative' category, whereby it is envisaged by Aristotle that; "The deliberative Rhetoric must exhort or persuade his audience, his speech is addressed to a judge of the future, and its end is to promote the good and avoid the harmful.
