Abstract


This study aims to determine the dominance and power constructed in the short story The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula Le Guin. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method by applying Fairclough's critical discourse analysis model. In addition, this study follows the three dimensions: description (textual analysis), interpretation, and explanation. The result of the description is that there is an attempt to dominate power in the short story. On the other hand, the interpretation and the explanation dimensions show the background of text production along with the application of sociocultural context. In conclusion, this research highlights the power and dominance majority groups over minority groups.
