    Though Thomas Paine's 'Common Sense' is as a whole emotionally charged, the statement that best expresses emotion according to me is: 'As well can the lover forgive the ravisher of his mistress, as the continent forgive the murders of Britain.'

    Explanation:

    The speech urges the hesitant Americans to leave the hope of any reconciliation with Britain and accept that liberty would come with independence or separating ways from Britain.

    Charged with emotion the mentioned line compares the brutalities of Britain to those committed by a ravisher on a lady. The onlooker, the lover, is kept parallel to the Americans, the inhabitants of the continent who have witnessed the slaughter.

    The contemptuous act cannot be shown any forgiveness. It is heinous. Still the only relief, or as a matter of fact, the only solution is to forgive and move on parting ways.
