The Truman Show

For this show i am using the Foucult ideal of, "A person in thinking, living, and speaking expresses not merely himself or herself but the thoughts and roles and phrases governed by the available ways of thinking and speaking." This applies very well to the The Truman Show. The ideal of the way that Truman Burbank acts, speaks, and lives is becasue the way everything is set up around him. The way he was raised and deveoloped on the show relates to the passages of Foucult. Who he was is because of the surroundings and the way people ahve treated him during his life time. The way we act and speak are shaped by the society we live in and Truman's society revolved around him so his speech and actions would not be molded like that of someone in actual society.
