Resumen de The rhetoric of theatre
There are three major senses in which theatre is a rhetorical form: first, the playscript is rhetorical in that it urges an attitude toward its subject matter; second, the staged work is rhetorical in that it urges an attitude (usually one of acceptance) toward the playscript; and third, the production may take the rhetorical stance of changing or even mocking the text. In all three rhetorics, theatre depends on the example as its central rhetorical device, not the example as part of discursive form, but the example as a form in its own right.
