Representations

  • It goes 'beyond the binary'

  • ST- Steve Harrington and Hopper are examples of more complex characters
  • Novelistic- multiple story lines and characters that arc (stretch) over a number of episodes and seasons
  • We may see flashbacks that explain their background
  • Systematic change- isn't just focused on one individual
  • 'Communities facing challenges and dealing them by embracing or rejecting their own diversity' -Jeff Gomez
