isnt it just like... what techniuques the composers use, and justify why they used them... like the topic is representation and text so the composer deleberately selected and emphasised certain dialogue or stage directions etc. so to repreent the power/play
..that my.... input.. :) :S

I've been struggling with that question all day, its really not nice.
Im guessing that you kinda have to justify why certain powerplays are put into the text....
i still dont really get it, and my trials are tomorrow...i hate english powerplays!!!!!

I think I'd look at this question as how the powerful seperate the society they are trying to control. Like in 1984 and the inner/outer party and proles. Then what they do to emphasise the seperations and how that enables them to control more easily.

I dunno if that's any help... but if i was given that question thats the angle to tackle it I'd take
