Abstract
Using a Psychological/Ritual Model of criticism, the essay argues that the rhetorical force of “The Deer Hunter” is explained by men's participation in rituals, such as deer hunting, which affect the patterns of psychological change they experience during and after war. These changes affect the future regeneration of the society.Keywords
