- REPRESENTATION
- Gender- The film very much uses
traditional gender roles with men
having the power and the
influence whilst women stay at
home and look after the house,
however the main character, Ree,
demonstrates not only a
feminine motherly role, but also
a fatherly role, subverting these
gender stereotypes with her
ability to shoot and skin an
animal and take responsibilities
into her own hands
- Culture- Very ingrained
on rural Missouri
culture, poorer
families living in the
middle of nowhere
where they all know
each other.
Highlighted by the
School only having
either a military class,
or a parent training
class. Hunting for food
and helping
neighbours out
- Age- Everyone is fairly elderly, not
really represented in a particular
way. Ree's mother is portrayed as
struggling and weak, whilst you
also get the generous older
neighbours who assist the family.
