Answer 1

Paine uses this language to show that kings oppressive actions against the colonies are inexcusable.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the kings have been treating the colonies in the brutal manner and she is not in support of the kings for such behaviour. She thus tries to show a sense and a feeling of oppression with the use of such strong words against the king so that her message is spread across. There are certain injuries which are not even forgiven by nature and the deeds done by kings are the same.
