Erasmus - High Quality Entertainment

Erasmsus's readings are highly entertaining due to his satirical style. Not only are the two opposing extremes played out with sarcastic, cunning, and vicious remarks, but it's in the form of dialogue. I really enjoy the format of dialogue because to me it feels as if I am really listening to the conversation, maybe even eavesdropping. And this is the kind of conversation I would love to eavesdrop on. The wit and intelligence of one party versus the confidence and pride of the other compliments not only the woman and Paul, the two intelligent parties, but the value of a wise and cunning mind. For the reader, they know and acknowledge that one wishes to be on the learned side, which at the time may have promoted further interest in education.
