Abstract

Through the light of the rhetoric theory, this study aims at investigating the ethical constitution of the protagonist of the film Mother Teresa in some representative fragments. This drama exposes the missionary engagement of Teresa of Calcutta in her social struggle for the sick, poor and abandoned people in India and other countries. We noted that the ethical constitution of Teresa of Calcutta is based on the three ethos instances listed by Aristotle: phronesis, arete and eunoia. The analysis results show that these three instances were expressed by the character through the plausible (phronesis), temerarious (arete) and solidary (eunoia) ethos.
