The film lacks explicit depictions of non-cisnormative identities or same-sex intimacy. It operates within traditional heteronormative frameworks without queer-coded characters driving the plot.

Female characters demonstrate significant autonomy and internal complexity, disrupting common period drama tropes. They possess agency and engage in meaningful dialogue, successfully navigating the Bechdel test.

The ensemble is primarily homogeneous, reflecting the demographic realities of an 18th-century European setting. There is no intentional inclusion of non-Anglo-Saxon characters to challenge the historical context.

The narrative critiques traditional Western institutions by portraying religious figures through a lens of human fallibility. It utilizes moral relativism to challenge binary notions of good and evil.

There is no prominent or centralized depiction of neurodivergence or physical disability. While human struggle is present, disability is not used as a tool for narrative depth.
