The film lacks explicit LGBTQ+ identities or non-cisnormative romantic arcs. While the Freudian framework allows for fluid expressions of desire, these function as psychological elements rather than overt queer representation.

Women are portrayed through lenses of madness and eccentricity rather than domestic archetypes. This use of the grotesque disrupts traditional hierarchies by granting characters a chaotic, independent agency.

The production maintains a homogeneous, European-centric ensemble within its period-fantasy aesthetic. It does not utilize race-blind casting or diverse ethnic integration to deviate from its historical setting.

The narrative excels at critiquing Western institutions by depicting religious and social structures with irreverence. It prioritizes subjective psychological truth over established moral or religious absolutes.

Themes of mental instability and madness serve the surrealist plot and Freudian analysis. However, these elements lack the specific agency required to represent neurodivergence or disability meaningfully.
