Representation

Gender
I have tried to avoid the usual tropes of a typical heterosexual relationship by making Sam, the female in the relationship the one who seems to be in control of the relationship while Danny is more emotional than a typical male character would be while still using some typical traits such as the fact that his is rather more dismissive and closed to outside conversation making him appear more surly and conservative than Sam

The issue I have encountered with analysing the representation of wider social constructs such as class and status is that the story takes place in a rather closed environment that, while the story does acknowledge wider events and because of this a wider universe this universe is not shown and so it is harder to reference the representation of class and status as these are not major factors in the story as all of the people in the piece are clearly of a similar social class and status. This does not mean that they are not factors in the characters development across the piece it just means that their Gender is probably the most important factor in their characters.
