The most interesting part of Burke’s rhetorical theory is his idea of terministic screens. Essentially, that our means of persuasion is limited by our language. It extends to any field of study, for instance biology is defined through biological terms, rather than physics terms. Essentially Burke’s break-down of rhetorical tools falls into his dramatistic pentad, which consists of an act, agent, agency, purpose, and scene. Although rhetoric is limited by terministic screen, the dramatistic pentad is universal to dialectic. Any argument seeking truth has these factors. The way that the factors are communicated is dependent on terminstic screens. The understanding of the relationship between screens and the pentad is key in being persuasive according to Burke.
