I would add for context that the text draws us into the genre of horror, wouldn't you say?  The dark and stormy night trope situates us into some sort of gothic horror mood...  I'm not so sure the purpose of the text is to invoke depression?  Why do authors write mysterious gothic texts...?  What is the author hoping to get out of this, what emergent problem is the author hoping to persuade us to take action on?  Maybe you can elaborate a little on your diagram?  Did you look at this link:

Are you sure?  How can an audience exist separately from a speaker?  Aren't they some kind of binary pair?  In some ways I agree with you that the exegesis controls all things, the arising of the problem is a kind of creation of the world event, maybe you could expand a bit on that, how you see exegesis as at the center...?
