Abstract
Stylistic analysis of a text uses many tools from linguistic research. Halliday’s model
of transitivity choices offers one such method of textual investigation. Transitivity
choices construct the reality of the text world and its characters. Burton (1996)
takes a feminist stance and traces power relationship in Plath’s The Bell Jar where
she establishes female character as a victim in power dynamics. This paper is an
attempt to establish the pattern of power relationship in a male oriented domain in
Greene’s short story Dream of a Strange Land. The paper concludes that power
relationships are not necessarily gender bound. They are found between humans
as a part of their existence.
