I really liked the topic of your midterm project! I have never heard of dramaturgical analysis before, but it makes a lot of sense once you put it all together. Especially as someone with mental disabilities that have often caused me to "mask" or preform what I thought I should do in front of other people rather than just being myself. It is easy to think of this analysis in day to day interactoins as well, showing that it is a part of everyday life even without us usually being conscientiously aware of it. It alos brings up the question of how this plays out in different societies as different groups of people have different social "norms" and standards.
