SCRIERILE SENECANE, ÎNTRE TEMATISM ȘI TEXTUALISM
SENECAN WRITINGS, BETWEEN THEMATISM AND TEXTUALISM

Summary/Abstract: This paper seeks to uncover Seneca's brilliance as a writer, unearthing his use of rhetorical devices and tropes alongside the sophisticated methods he employed to construct literary and philosophical personas in both prose and dramatic works. In an era characterized by tyranny, suffering from disease and premature death, Senator Seneca proclaimed hope through Stoicism – delivering a new message that provided comfort amidst distress during times of political instability. Rhetoric, the science of persuasive public speaking, has been a pivotal part in communication since ancient times. The form of rhetoric provides insight into what was intended to be communicated by the speaker and their intention for forming a relationship with their audience.
