The Queers Living in the Order of Power

This essay purports to elaborate the forming and development of the modes that construct human being according to Michel Foucault's work Order of Things. And it analyzes how the homosexual lives in the order that is constructed in a heterosexual principle. Since everyone lives in an ordered environment, his growth is a process in which he gets familiar with the environment and practices the discourses of order. Through certain discourses this order construct human being's character, language and behavior. The existence of homosexuality is a blatant violation in the system. It becomes an ill part of the whole system of order. They become the object of correction and oppression since the order asks for the principle of conformity. Through the lives of the characters in the dramas selected in this paper, it will be seen that how much they suffer the pressure from order with the discourses. Foucault's theory deconstructs the principle of the order of heterosexuality and reveals how various the ways of living can be.
