초록
Mystification and demystification are rhetorical tools and manifest through the subtext which convey the underlying message of the author to the audience/reader. Modern fiction use subtext for many different rhetorical reasons. These uses of subtext are closely related to the metaphorical rhetorics and allegorical inferences that one finds abundant in today’s fictional environment. Mystification tries to entrance the audience/reader to think that what is actually a fabricated imagery is based on actual reality while demystification on the other hand proposes to lay bare and to remove the symbolizations associated with narratives. This paper looks at the use of mystification and demystification as a rhetorical tool and their application in the modern drama. The symbolizations and the meanings underlying what is presented on stage and through text can generally be accepted as the theme that the author is trying to convey to the audience/reader and it can be quite different from what is actually presented and not represented.
