✅ Summary

The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life by Erving Goffman is a sociological work that explores human interactions through the lens of theater. Goffman introduces the concept of dramaturgy, suggesting that people behave like actors on a stage, managing their self-presentation based on social settings and audience expectations. He examines how individuals use impression management, frontstage and backstage behavior, and other techniques to control how they are perceived in everyday life. The book is a foundational text in sociology and symbolic interactionism.
