The story focuses entirely on the platonic bond between Sophie and the BFG. There are no depictions of same-sex intimacy or non-cisnormative identities.

Sophie serves as the intellectual and emotional catalyst of the plot, exercising significant agency. The Queen of England also provides a depiction of female authority.

The casting and setting reflect a homogeneous, Anglo-centric demographic. While avoiding harmful stereotypes, the film lacks a diverse ensemble that reflects a multicultural reality.

The narrative reinforces traditional Western institutions like the British Monarchy. It follows a classic good-versus-evil trajectory within a conventional moral framework.

The BFG represents a form of 'otherness' through his unique sensory experiences. However, there is no significant representation of neurodivergence or physical disability in the human cast.
