In our analysis, we treat issues that unfold in the play Inheritance within the situation context in which they occur. This concurs with Halliday (1985) who argues that a text is completely detached from the external world and creates a “context of situation” for itself through the special patterning of its lexis. In this regard, we engage an interpretative approach on the various contexts created in the play in our attempt to analyze the manifestations of power in line with the objectives of the study.enInsignias of AuthorityDavid Mulwametaphors of powerArticle
