Abstract The analysis of the different stages in a preface to a stage play (1617) by Gerbrand Bredero makes
clear that antitheses, exaggerated modesty and self-humiliation may be used as strategic tools in the
confrontation stage. The disagreement between protagonist and the primary audience has been created in the confrontation stage by polarizing the parties' attitude towards each other.
