20. MACHIAVELLIAN TACTICS OF ABUSERS IN FAR AWAY BY CARYL CHURCHILL  Auteurs:  Dr. DRAMANE Ouattara 

The paper intends to analyse the manipulative tactics in Churchill's Far Away, focusing on how these tactics distort reality and harm characters like Joan and Todd. The latter suffer the most from these manipulative pressures, with Joan's worldview warped by Aunt Harper's deceptive arguments and Todd disillusioned by the factory's corrupt practices. Their plight reflects the societal chaos, leaving readers with heart-wrenching concerns about Todd and the future of the youth. Thus, from a sociocritical perspective, Caryl Churchill's Far Away demonstrates the remarkably resilient behaviour of Joan and Todd and their unwavering hope for a humane society, even within their dystopian reality
