Write a research paper about David Mamet’s Oleanna and the psychology of sexual harassment.This is a paper for a Drama in Context Class. I’d like to start with a few words about the playwright, the play, and the circumstances in which Mamet wrote it. I’d like to shortly present what happened (the “alleged” Sexual Harassment and assault) in the play, and also talk about character’s interior motives, intentions, and how the same act can be interpreted in different ways. I’d like to focus more on Carol’s point of view, experience, and explore her psychological background, and reasons for falsly accusing him of assault (there’s a hint of her troubled history… and the general affect of sexual assault on the victim, what types of personalities are more prone to being victims of sexual assault, and how does that affect them… (Jung’s lower self’s need to seek revenge e.g. if they experienced boundary crossing, they might want to try crossing other’s boundaries or hurting them in some way). I feel that she’s making him pay for things he both did, and didn’t do, that the professor is paying for all other male oppressors she, and her support group encountered in their lives. Also I’d like to mention maybe how this support group affected her (and how they generally affect victims), and made her take certain steps… other ideas are welcome too
