المستخلص:	This paper mainly focuses on the idea of docility in two selected plays namely, The Dance and the Railroad (1981) by the Chinese-American David Henry Hwang and Miriam’s Flowers (1992) by the Chicana dramatist Migdalia Cruz. The main argument of the study is to show the negative impact of docility on the people and how it brings about abuse and subordination. The social and cultural pressures and the strict rules manipulated in societies are considered effective ways of control and domination. Therefore, the paper examines the strategies of power and control that are imposed to dominate the individuals; moreover it attempts to explore the various modes of resistance employed by the characters against docility and exploitation.
