Abstract

In this article, we compare Hecuba’s two supplications alongside other successful and unsuccessful supplications from the perspective of politeness theory. This comparison will enable us to track the evolution of her language throughout the plot. The differences in the language of her first and second supplications may shape the way in which she is characterized.
