oleana
The ending of Oleanna could have been prevented. I t didn’t have to end with John loosing control. The story is based on miscommunication. Carol could have told John from the beginning that she felt uncomfortable instead of going behind his back and press charges. John is wrong too for abusing the power he had over Carol. John didn’t loose it though until he found out Carol might be charging him with rape. We all know that he didn’t try raping her so if the government redefined rape, Johns out burst would have never happened. All of the above could have prevented the ending of Oleanna. Carol went to John’s office to tell him that she couldn’t afford to fail and that she has tried everything to try to understand but she still can’t. John understands her problem and offers to give her an A for the term if she stops by his office more often and talk about what she doesn’t understand. Carol asks “why would you do this for me” and he replies “because I like you”. Carol doesn’t understand why he likes her and John tells her that he believes that “perhaps we’re similar”. Carol makes no suggestion of her feeling sexually harassed and that is when the problem begins.
