Feminist Lens
1. What are the power relationships between men and women (or characters assuming male/female roles)?
- In the beginning of the short film, Purl is called in for a staff meeting. In the meeting, the men are discussing an issue in the investment department. Purl provides a solution, however she is completely overlooked and not given any type of recognition for solving the problem. This is a contrast to later in the short film, when Purl begins acting the way the guys prefer, they listen to her suggestions during the staff meeting.
2. Do characters take on traits from opposite genders? How so? How does this change others’ reactions to them?
- Yes Purl does take on the personality traits of the men at B.R.O. Capital. She begins to wear suits, act like them, make jokes like them, and even speak like them. Instead of this turning them away from Purl, this makes them include Purl in their conversations, inside jokes, and group activities after work.
3. How do characters embody these traits?
- Purl originally brings her knitting to the office, while the men use sports as a means to talk to one another

By looking at Purl's actions throughout the short film, we can see the dilemma she faces while trying to be liked by her new coworkers; this is important because it depicts the battle between conformity and individuality.

Purl originally was super excited and naiive in her office place. When her co-workers ignored her presence and she felt neglected, she decided to change herself. Purl changed her appearance and personality to fit in, however when the other yarn ball entered the office, Purl decided to put aside her new persona to make the new yarn ball feel comftorable and became caring.

The conflict that Purl comes across is that Purl is discriminated against in her office. She is obviously different from everyone in her workplace since they were men but she was a ball of yarn. She was ignored by everyone she tried to interact with. The men struggled to view her as someone on the same level as her due to her appearance.

man vs. society: The office culture at BRO Capital makes Purl feel undermined and judged for being herself. It takes another ball of yarn joining the office for Purl to feel motivated to stand up for herself and be who she really is, without worrying about judgements

The setting is the office place. Purl joined an office called B.R.O. As Purl settles into her new workplaces, she goes around to their desk, to the meeting room and the elevator. The office has gray walls and light gray ceiling tiles. There are desks placed all around the office and computers are propped on all of them. There are printers and copier machines to the side of the room. The meeting room has brown walls but glass doors and windows. For a few seconds, there were also clips of Purl being in the bar and at a game with their colleagues. The office place is where she goes through her problems and it also shows the development of her character.
