From Republic IV 436b to 441c, Socrates leads Glaucon “through a sea of argument” (441c) aimed at establishing that the soul has three parts: an appetitive part, a spirited part, and a rational part.
Lay out that argument in premise/conclusion form. (The argument depends on one key principle about opposites and parts, and then several examples that are designed to allow us to distinguish, on the basis of that principle, the three parts of the soul.)
