Context of use often determines the final, embedded meaning of an aphorism. Use in a
‘performance arena' proceeds through a complex interaction
between folklore users and audiences, and a shared set of meanings which is invoked
by the saying. Issues of status, gender, and age of proverb users and audiences also
influence performance and meaning. Building on the work of folklorist John Miles
Foley and others, this study outlines features of the performance arena for the use
of aphorisms, usingElihu in Job 32.6-10, and a slave woman's use of a
proverbial sayingin the Westcar Papyrus. A visual model of proverb performance based
on computer object editing is proposed.
