All that counts anymore is power : a Foucauldian reading of power relations in Arthur miller's the crucible

Abstract EN

Michel Foucault's theory of Power Relations offers an explanation of power that some scholars have held as potentially useful when reflecting upon how religious authority can be transferred into political authority.

The importance of Foucault's theory lies in examining the vicious little ways we manoeuvre to pre-dominate each other.

Using Foucault's power theory, this paper is intended to do a close reading of Arthur Miller's the Crucible (1953).

The study aims to probe into the nature of characters' struggle for getting power, arguing that the intersection between the practice of spirituality and political institutions have a significant impact on characters.

The current study shows that Miller is greatly engrossed with the tightening influences, transgressions, and setting up the key of power relations as to global and transnational predominance.
