Imagery of Paris
Burke uses imagery to depict France as someplace distinct from yet intrinsically comparable to Britain. Through sensory details which cause the reader to invest themselves in the welfare and events of the region, Burke is able to make the revolution connect to the reader's previous notions of Paris.
Imagery of Aristocracy
Through his imagery of the monarch and aristocracy, Burke is able to conjure a notion of Britain that draws forward to the earlier history of fiefdoms and casts the modern vision of England. In doing so, he is able to adjust the feeling of "homeland" which might cloud the ability of readers to read his essay without a sense of immutable belief.
Imagery of Rights
Burke delineates many forms of the rights enjoyed by British citizens using imagery that casts inhuman terms in the context of marriage, family, welfare, and other day-to-day experiences. He uses imagery throughout his writings on this subject of individual applicability.
Imagery of Illusions
Burke illustrates the desired result of a reader's incorporation of the thoughts he presents by using imagery to depict the state of illusion which controls the consciousness of his readership before they expose themselves to the reality of necessary change he himself perceives. Imagery of vision into nakedness accompany this statement of why his views are radical and important to take seriously.
