‘The Greatest Speech Ever’ - An Analysis of Charlie Chaplin’s Famous Speech.
When I listened to this speech first, it truly blew me away. Although delivered as a monologue in a movie, ‘The Great Dictator’, in 1940, it seems equally relevant today. The poor barber, dressed as the dictator Henkel, in order to escape a camp, finds himself having to deliver his first public speech ever. Mistaken for Hynkel, he has no choice but to make the speech. Beginning by announcing that he has had a change of heart and does not want to be an emperor, he makes an impassioned plea for brotherhood and goodwill. This speech is rich with many wonderful examples of effective rhetorical devices such as triads, repetition, metaphor and contrasts. Its powerful message us as important today as it was when first delivered over 80 years ago. Charlie Chaplin is a genius!!!
