The present study explores how role structure analysis can help in organizing texts.Traugott and Pratt (1980: 210) put this as follows: "Applying role structure analysis to literary texts can often help us to understand the organization of the world conveyed by the narrator." Moreover, they mention two advantages of role structure analysis in texts. First, "writers can set up a particular view of the world by consistently choosing particular kinds of role structures over others, or consistently selecting certain arguments and not others".
