Imperatives have a volitional-directive force in that they invite the audience to take action, either by blocking the speaker’s adversary from making a statement, or by voting against him (D. 19.75, 18.324; Aeschin. 3.156). The use of a high concentration of rhetorical questions at specific moments in speeches (Aeschin. 3.130-2; D. 19.250) becomes a powerful tool: both by articulating a relentless attack on the opponent, and by giving the audience no respite in which to consider flaws in the speaker’s position. Este artículo explora el potencial persuasivo de los imperativos y las preguntas en los discursos de Esquines y Demóstenes. Los imperativos tienen una fuerza directiva volitiva en que invitan a la audiencia a tomar medidas, ya sea bloqueando al adversario del orador para que no haga una declaración o votando en contra de él (D. 19.75, 18.324; Aeschin. 3.156). El uso de una alta concentración de preguntas retóricas en momentos específicos en los discursos (Aeschin. 3.130-2; D. 19.250) se convierte en una herramienta poderosa: tanto al articular un ataque implacable contra el oponente, como al no dar al público un respiro en el cual considere defectos en la posición del hablante.
