"Bitzer does not include the rhetor as a constituent of the rhetorical situation before the discourse is produced, although he includes aspects of the rhetor under the category of constraints. Vatz only points out the rhetor’s role in defining the situation, yet it seems to me that rhetors are as much constituents of their rhetorical situations as are their audiences" (354). From the beginning of the article, the rhetors seemed to be the creators of the situations, but the author goes a different route, explaining how the rhetor and the audience are both outcomes from the situation itself. The situation calls for a rhetor and an audience, not the other way around.
