Q149. Diction, etc.

Individuals seek perpetual information about how they present themselves in their current social position and how to meaningfully readjust themselves based on their circumstances. Goffman illustrates this presentation adjustment by stating that people engage in “… performance which regularly functions in a general and fixed fashion to define the situation for those who observe the performance” (p.22).

Goffmans argues that the front is made up of two main parts: the setting and the personal front.

Goffman writes that a part of an individual’s performance is established in the “front”. This includes the setting, appearance of self, and manner.

Goffman describes the necessity for a player to believe in the part one is playing.
