What is the purpose of gandhi's use of hypophora in this excerpt from his "banaras hindu university speech"? i honor the anarchist for his love of the country. i honor him for his bravery in being willing to die for his country; but i ask him-is killing honorable? is the dagger of an assassin a fit precursor of an honorable death? i deny it. there is no warrant for such methods in any scriptures. if i found it necessary for the salvation of india that the english should retire, that they should be driven out, i would not hesitate to declare that they would have to go, and i hope i would be prepared to die in defense of that belief. that would, in my opinion, be an honorable death. the bomb-thrower creates secret plots, is afraid to come out into the open, and when caught pays the penalty of misdirected zeal
