We read Shir HaShirim on Shabbos Chol HaMoed Pesach.

I've been interested for some time in an analysis of verse punctuation by Adam and Chava getting reproved by Hashem, and the Nachash getting punished without even first being addressed. It is almost as if Hashem might have been as gentle with Chava, two inquiries, as Hashem was with Adam, where the first question was somewhat rhetorical...

My thought is if it could be that Chava interrupted this two gentle inquiries style and brought upon herself a harsher result than if she had followed the advice of Pirkei Avos and not reply to angry words at that time.

Is this Shir HaShirim an example of interrupted speech?

Artscroll's interpretation puts in bold before verse 10 [Israel interjects:] and follows without capitalizing the first letter of the first word.
