In the excerpt from Plato about rhetoric, Plato describes this form of speech as an art that can be mastered only by a person who truly understands rhetoric. Plato’s description of what must be done in order to learn the art of rhetoric is a very complex web of knowing when to use which sort of speech or persuasion to the type of person who needs convincing and when to apply these means. I understood this passage after the first time reading it, to my surprise, considering the amount of material to become confused in. I have read a few other passages from Plato and the same theme occurs throughout all of them, the way he puts his words and sentences together make even some of the most hard concepts easy to understand.
