Abstract

This article is for instructors who wish to use rhetorical theory in the literature classroom. It provides a rhetorical analysis of a dinner scene in Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. The dinner scene is subjected to two forms of Kenneth Burke's analysis: 1) the dramatic pentad or dramatism, and 2) consubstantiality, or identification. The theory of rhetorical consubstantiality and the dramatistic terms act, agent, scene, agency,and purpose coordinate well with the critical approach of deconstruction, which can apply to any form of symbolic language.
