2 opposing ideals are juxtaposed as a way of examining and discussing them

- themes of love, temptation + marriage; all treated in a highly moralistic way pre the hays code
- character arcs + motivation (tempted husband - nearly corrupted)
- symbolism + motifs (innocence of the country - wife) (corruption of city - woman)

- refers to an artistic approach + narrative style that aims to represent life, characters, settings and events as closely as possible to their real-world counterparts
- emphasises authenticity, avoiding excessive stylosation, melodrama or artificiality in favour of depicting the complexity + nuances of human existence
- goal of realism is to create a sense of familiarity, relatability and emotional resonance with the audience on a personal + genuine level
- realism is a sense of believability not actuality

the appearance of being true or real

A film that explores a crisis in a characters life in detail: the emphasis being on slow evocative acting and telling details rather than extremes

- an artistic movement that seeks to convey emotional and psychological states rather than a realistic representation of the world
