Sociology major Sarah House '20 presented her paper "Why Dorian Gray Can't Live with Himself: A Dramaturgical Analysis" in August at the annual meeting of The Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction. Sarah used Erving Goffman's concept of the presentation of self to analyze the morality of Dorian's actions in Oscar Wilde's novel and argued for the value of symbolic interactionism as a tool of literary analysis.
