The film lacks explicit LGBTQ+ identities or same-sex intimacy. While it explores non-traditional lifestyles and rejects heteronormative social expectations, it lacks specific identity-driven character arcs.

The narrative disrupts hierarchies by centering intellectual friction between men and women. Sophie Brzeska possesses significant agency, while the suffragette Gosh Boyle introduces themes of female political power.

The film explores the friction between European civilization and indigenous cultures. However, Tahitian life is often filtered through the protagonist's subjective experience, limiting the agency of indigenous characters.

The film demonstrates high cultural subversion by critiquing Western bourgeois morality and Catholicism. It frames the rejection of traditional religious and family structures as necessary artistic liberation.

There is no evidence of characters with visible or invisible disabilities driving the narrative or serving as central thematic elements.
