Crane utters, “Look, you dont belong here”. This statement creates an mbiguity for Po. Po says, “I know. I
know. Youre right. I just - my whole life Ive dreamed of-“. He creates an
ambiguity for Po. He means that Po does not belong in his room but Po misunderstands. Po suggests that Crane’s statement means he does not belong to
the Jade Palace. Crane doesn’t send his message directly. He doesn’t say that Po has to get out from his room. Then, Po misunderstands. It means that Crane, in
this conversation, seems to violate the maxim. Toward the explanation above, the writer concludes the maxim of manner
is violated in dialog in datum 3.
