Wordsworthian Open-Ended Rhetorical Structure

Based upon the works of William Wordsworth, this paper focuses upon his rhetorical structure. What it emphatically demonstrates is that he opens new rhetorical possibilities from what his narrators claim to the reader's creativity and imagination. He, as a writer, requires the reader to actively explore the rhetorical gaps, or a space for the reader to engage in with their own meanings. He admits that he is fully conscious of the gaps in the narrator's stories. It is assumed that while he performs his work to make his rhetorical elements and stories consistent he desperately needs a considerate effort and cooperation with his readers. He doesn't endow his characters and narrators with any authoritative powers. What makes the author and the reader share their experiences, in relation to what is presented by the author, encourages the reader's active creation. It actually lays stress upon the co-creation rather than upon the mere shared experiences. In the process of co-creation, the reader needs to pay attention to the gaps and the surplus, the lack betrayed in the narrator's manipulations of his materials. The reader supplements them and performs his constructive and deconstructive actions as well. Wordsworth's intention is to show that the capacity to make the reader recognize the possibility of his authorship is included in his rhetorical structure.
