Focusing closely on the details of the text, write analytical interpretations of the
passages chosen; your discussion should include some or all of the following points,
and you should feel free to consider other points you think relevant: the context of
the passage; the purpose of the passage within its context, and its position within the
structure of the dialogue as a whole; comment, analysis and interpretation of any
points of philosophical, rhetorical, literary, dramatic, historical, or political interest;
assessment of the significance of the arguments; your criticism.
(n.b. Do not write in general terms about Plato, the Greeks, Philosophy or Rhetoric –
anything not made relevant in relation to the passages, their arguments, their
contexts and their significance may receive no credit.)
