• W2394565943 abstract "In his Symposium Plato appropriates two common literary elements, characterization and genre, for his own philosophical discourse. In this present study I examine the interaction of the two elements in the Symposium, and I argue that the two are inextricably linked, i.e. forces of characterization rely on and reinforces forces of genre in each of the speeches spoken by the seven symposiasts. In order to achieve this, I examine both the form and the content of each character’s speech and give special attention to matters of genre and argument, logic, and style of the speeches. In conclusion I propose that the Symposium, as a dialogue, celebrates particularly the character of Socrates, and, furthermore, the dialogue constitutes a defense of Plato’s philosophical styling. 4 Antitheses are usually resolved, not by picking one side and refuting the other, or by making eclectic choices between them, but by trying to get past the antithetical way of stating the problem. Northrop Frye, “The Archetypes of Literature” Introduct ion: The Dr ink ing Party Like many other ancient authors Plato wrote dialogues; unlike many authors he wrote Socratic dialogues, although in this aspect he is still not unique. He is, however, unique in the literary finesse that his dialogues evince. In his article on the origin of the Socratic dialogue, Diskin Clay stresses Plato’s unique appropriation of genre in his Socratic dialogues: “Plato also parts company with the other literary Socratics in reflecting within his Socratic dialogues on the established literary genres in terms of which his dialogues are to be understood and against which they were to stand in contrast.”1 Andrea Nightingale studied extensively the contrast with genre that Clay notes; this present study, however, examines the specific elements of genre incorporated by Plato, most notably his dramatic elements, the setting of the dialogue and characterization. These two components of drama converge significantly in one dialogue, the Symposium. The scene, a symposium, provides a culturally vivid framework for the dialogue; the participants in this dialogue, the vast array of characters, provide ample opportunity to explore not only Plato’s techniques of characterization, but also their effect on the dialogue. In siting the dialogue at a symposium Plato imposes a set of cultural and literary constraints upon the form and content of the dialogue and the behavior of the participants. These cultural implications particularly define the setting of the Symposium. In a most general sense the symposium was a ritualized gathering of aristocratic men in Greek society.
