The world of the films defines the situation and assigns roles to each character, effectively reproducing the dynamics of “dominion.” By proposing the theory of language and symbolic power and explaining the complex relations between “power” and “language”, Pierre Bourdieu has discussed how dominance is formed in societies. In the movie The Miracle Worker, a child named Helen Keller is deprived of the most basic means of entering the field, i.e. language, and the lack of language (as the most basic means of communication) has made her unable to communicate meaningfully. Based on the analytical descriptive method, the present research investigates the relations of domination in the structure of the film, The Miracle Worker. During this adaptation, this research focuses on how “language” in the movie serves as symbolic capital to equip Helen Keller for social engagement and to achieve symbolic power. By examining the discussed sample, it is concluded that the basic role of language in the power structure and its application at the level of individual and collective agency requires special attention and people, while being aware of its dual use, to gain a place in the world Dominance and power require the communicative action of language before any action.
