Count of Monte Cristo
Franz answers Monte Cristo's view of revenge
with the following, “But, with that theory, which
makes you your own judge and executioner; it
would be difficult to stay clear of the power of
the law. Hatred is blind, anger is foolhardy, and
he who pours out vengeance risks having to
drink a bitter draft."
Explain what Franz means.

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
