In Oleanna, there are several themes. Oleanna focuses on education and the conflict between people that are highly educated and those that are still striving to be educated. Money and gender also play a big role in this play. If it wasn't for these differences, the conflict in education would be minor. The fact that Carol had a poor upbringing and the fact that she is a girl living in a world where the ideas of feminism sneak into everyone's lives enhance the conflict there is between Carol and her teacher.
Oleanna also deals with communication. Communication plays a tremendous role in the play. Because education and upbringing hinder Carol from having the same understanding of vocabulary and the same sense of expressing herself, the communication between Carol and John is hindered.
Another theme is the idea of power. Carol and John constantly fight for the power in their relationship, which ends in the disastrous ending.
