- The dramatistic pentad forms the core element of dramatism, a method for examining motivations that the renowned literary critic Kenneth Burke developed. Dramatism recommends the use of a metalinguistic approach to fiction that investigates the roles and uses of five rhetorical elements common to all narratives, each of which is related to a question. These five rhetorical elements form the "dramatistic pentad. " Burke argues that an evaluation of the relative emphasis that is given to each of the five elements by a fictional work enables a determination of the motive for the behaviour of its characters. A character's stress on one element over the others suggests his or her world view.
