Representation of gender- In Pans Labyrinth men are represented as superior while women are represented as inferior. we see this with the relationship between Vidal and Ofelia where Vidal gives all the orders to Ofelia and other characters such as Mercedes. This presents men as dominant and superior. Ofelia and other characters follow Vidal’s orders without hesitation presenting women as inferior and powerless. This is until Mercedes rebels against Vidal cutting him and running away. This flips the power of genders as Ofelia starts to rebel against Vidal as well by stealing the baby.
Aesthetics– The use of gender status would make things more realistic as it would be relevant to the time the film was set. This is because at the time the film was set only men were sent out to battle or had roles in the army and women were seen as cleaners or cookers which is what we see here.
