The film adheres to a strictly heteronormative framework. It contains no narratives or identities that challenge the traditional social structures of the 17th century.

Narrative power is concentrated in male religious leadership. Women appear primarily in supportive or recipient roles, reinforcing the conventional gender hierarchies of the era.

The cast is a homogeneous European ensemble. This reflects the localized, historically specific demographic of 17th-century France without diverse ethnic perspectives.

The story celebrates traditional Western religious institutions. It positions Christian morality and religious orders as the primary drivers of social stability and charity.

Visibility is provided through the impoverished and physically broken characters served by the protagonist. However, these individuals lack independent agency within the narrative.
