Hey guys what's the language technique that is "ordering" and "demanding" and is used throughout the cautionary tales of Frankenstein and Blade Runner?

Please help I don't know how I have forgotten this,

Thanks

... Are you sure you know what didactic means? It comes from the greek word 'didasko'; to teach... that the narrative is intended to teach a lesson. Not quite sure how this fits in with demanding and ordering, though the sentence above does make sense.
