In this essay I consider the capacities of language to disclose the self. Starting from Elizabeth Cady Stantons Solitude of Self, I argue that Stanton successfully discloses the self through a reliance on, and a subsequent violation of, Burkes dramatistic logic. Drawing on Kants notion of the sublime to determine the semiotic limits of Burkes Pentad, I conclude that the disclosure of the self hinges on the failure of the Pentad.
