Secondly, the Escola de Bethlem also follows the principle that oriented most of the religious and moral works of the Baroque time: that the lesson is more effective when given in a more pleasurable form. The discursive artifices, the metaphors and emblems, the ingenuity and sharpness, all at the same time capture the reader’s attention and satisfaction, making the transmitted lesson more effective.
