Question # 5 I find this one to be rather true, on the basis that Carol and John always seem to be bickering at one another for the most part it is Carol. Because John has such a higher understanding of language so in that form he is dominating Carol and the majority of his students. “form of domination” – a tool of power in the hands of those in power, created by those in power, etc. This is very clear throughout Oleanna, because she is intimidated by his use of language. As quoted from " Language and its Discontents" language may be deployed to reinforce consensus and to shore up forms of domination by debasing the meanings of words, displacing our attention from the important to the trivial, or covering up with a smokescreen of obscurantisms that aim to deny and distance. Language is given to us in a variety of ways whether it be tv,music,movies, media, government, military. Language is a bondage used by those in power.
