本文以外交交涉的历史实践与借代修辞实践的相似性为出发点。现代早期的大使是作为派遣他到国外的君主的替代者，而借代则描述了一个事物与另一个相关事物之间的类似的关系。然而，由于符号被过于字面化地理解为所指，转喻很容易与其指称对象混淆，甚至取代指称对象，从而在表征者与被表征者之间产生了一种竞争，作为权力的竞争来源，从相似关系转变为对立关系。作为对3亨利的探索，维康指出--正如本文所述--早期现代大使代表的转喻特征使其容易受到这种向对立的漂移的影响。对立，对立的形象，支配着亨利六世三世时期有争议的混乱，从演讲的修辞模式到结构、主题和政治。第三幕中的沃里克伯爵的大使馆也不例外：它是该剧对立的关键点。随着沃里克从代表爱德华四世转变为取代爱德华四世，那些表现他从替代到颠覆的转变的人物反映了欧洲外交文化中类似的不稳定性。外交官很容易歪曲事实。
This essay takes as its starting point the resemblance between the historical practice of diplomatic representation and the rhetorical practice of metonymy. The early modern ambassador acted as a substitute abroad for the sovereign who sent him and metonymy describes a comparable replacement—in words—of one thing by another associated thing. Yet metonyms can all too easily become confused with their referents or even come to replace them, as the sign is taken too literally for its signified, creating a kind of rivalry between representative and represented, as competing sources of authority, in a shift from relations of likeness to opposition. As an exploration of3 Henry VIcan point out—and as this article argues—the metonymic characteristics of early modern ambassadorial representation made it vulnerable to this drift towards antithesis. Antithesis, the figure of opposition, governs the contentious disorder of3 Henry VI, from the rhetorical patterning of its speeches to its structure and subject matter and politics. The Earl of Warwick’s embassy in Act 3 is no exception: it is the pivotal point around which the play’s oppositions turn. As Warwick moves from representing to replacing Edward IV, the figures that express his migration from substitution to subversion reflect on a comparable instability in European diplomatic culture. Diplomats could easily misrepresent.
