Style

Nietzsche has a distinct style when it comes to persuading his reader. What I gathered from his writing is that he doesn't seem to be bothered if the reader understands, however, his writing style is methodical and purposeful. One point that seemed to be recurrent throughout was the use of question and answer. This seems to be how Nietzsche opens up almost every different section. When reading each section I inevitably fall into a pit of confusion which seems to deepen if you don't understand the direction that Nietzsche is going. However, each section seems to almost have an outline of issues that he plans on discussing, and if/when you get confused, refer to this outline to be somewhat relieved of the question, "What is Nietzsche trying to say?"
