Learn English with FRANKENSTEIN - Part 2: How To Argue Elegantly

SCENE 1 - THE DINNER DEBATE - part 2

Part 2: “You laugh? You’re amused?”

Did you notice Victor’s reaction when Elizabeth laughs? He says:
“You laugh? You’re amused?”
These are simple questions, right? But here’s the magic—he’s not really asking. He’s challenging her. When someone laughs at your ideas and you say “You’re amused?"—you’re actually saying “How dare you laugh at me?”
This is called a rhetorical question. You ask not to get an answer, but to make a point. It’s elegant confrontation. Let me say it slowly: “You’re amused?” (with a raised eyebrow)
Try it! When your friend laughs at something you said seriously, raise one eyebrow and say: “You’re amused?”
