The Dramaturgical analogy is a theoretical perspective that views social interaction as analogous to a theatrical performance.
It suggests that individuals actively manage the impressions they make on others, presenting a specific "self" depending on the social context, much like actors playing roles on a stage.
The concept of the Dramaturgical analogy was introduced by the sociologist Erving Goffman.
He developed this idea in his influential work, 'The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life' (1959), analyzing social life through the lens of performance.
