Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1, University of Linz, language: English, abstract: Power is seen as a fundamental part of society. This term paper aims to find out, how power and power relations are depicted in a fictional society. In order to shed light into this matter, John French and Bertram Raven's (1959) theory of five (six) Bases of Social Power' was applied to Neil Burger's (2011) movie Limitless. A number of scenes showing power relationships between characters or shifts in power through a brain enhancing substance were analyzed. All forms of power regarding the theory could be detected in various relations throughout the movie.
