Olena played by David Mamet depicts the struggle between Carol students, Carol and Carol can not understand these materials, and she seems to be concentrating on what happened in the life at the time is. In the play of Mermaid, the power changes as the conspiracy evolves, and John starts with his power as a teacher, but Carroll risks his work and rip it from his hands ; But at the end of violence through John 's drama there is another rapid power transfer.

Oleanna is David Mamet's two roles of power struggle between university professor and one of the female students accusing him from resigning by accusing him of being sexually exploited. . The title of the play is taken from folk songs and refers to the utopia of the 19th century. Mamet later transformed his script into a movie with the same name. College student Carol is in the office of Professor John. She read the designated book and attended his lecture, but she felt dissatisfied that she did not understand the teaching materials of the class. Of particular concern are books written by John himself, contemporary people insisted that everyone would participate in higher education and claimed to call it "systematic bullying".

David Mamet, "Orena" is a story about extortion, power and scandal. Carol is a 20 year old college student. Sometimes innocent and dangerous, she is worried about her achievement. She does not know the professor and his course, so I feel she is inappropriate and threatened. Carol revealed that she was unable to take responsibility for failure. Using Ransomware and charisma, Carol will disappoint the professor beyond the limit. In the first act, Carol showed false innocent and emotional behavior. Whenever she talked, she asked the professor to cut her. Later she insisted on being irritated and annoyed because she did not understand John's lesson. "... I walked around ... From morning till night, I remembered this idea, I was stupid." Then, Carol blamed him for calling on her stupid phone. "You think I am stupid, you said," Carol's fear and anxiety spread to the classroom.

"Oleana" is a simple play by two people. John is a gorgeous professor at the end of his term and Carole at the end. Anyway, that is the first act. Watching John talking with scared students, it is very subtle, but it can be tolerated. In the second act, Carol blamed John of sexual harassment and two found that involved the most brutal scene I have ever seen. An argument between John and Carol is that he believes that he should be allowed to destroy his career with the first innocent behavior of the speech.
