The material discusses the accuracy of the memoir of the Chevalier. While the reading claims that the Chevalier invented many events to make his memoir interesting, the listening disagrees and states that the memoir of the Chevalier is pretty accurate and has a reliable historical source.
First, the author says that the Chevalier took a loan from a merchant, so he was not very rich. On the other hand, the professor opposes this and posits that borrowing money from a merchant did not mean that the Chevalier was poor. The lecturer explains that the Chevalier spent lots of his money on parties and might be he had an abundance of assessments, but he had to sell them first to get money. The speaker adds that he might borrow money till his money arrive.
Second, the writer contends that the chevalier could not remember his conversations with Voltaire accurately. On the contrary, the lecturer refutes this and cits that the Chevalier spent each night wrote the conversations that were between him and Voltaire. The professor adds that he did that for many years, so he could capture the exact conversations with Voltaire.
Third, the reading says that the Chevalier was well-connected with some politicians that could offer him a bribe, but he stated that he escaped by using a piece of metal to make his memoir more enjoyable. Conversely, the professor contradicts this and mentions that it is true that the Chevalier had power, but there was a document that the ceiling of the prison had to be repaired during this period. Furthermore, the lecturer adds that why they had to repair the ceiling, unless the Chevalier escaped through the roof as he said.
