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.
