Breaking up of tension - <strong> the relationship between all the character has now become neutral- by using over the shoulder shot of Mia all the characters are presented equally- the imagery resembles a family trip which Mia subconsciously wants.

         <title>Connor and Joanne have sexual relations:</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>(Where does it fit in the oedipal trajectory?)(Why does Connor leave the door open?)According to Freudian theory, the child that witnesses their parents having sexual relations maintains this memory in their unconscious which contains forgotten or repressed traumas of the past. The scene wherein Mia witnesses Connor and Joanne having sexual relations strongly refers to this prospect, however distorts it by merging it with Freud's theory of the Oedipus complex. The jealousy that Mia has of Connor and Joanne, represented in sound of the door slamming loudly refers to the the side of the Oedipus complex wherein females are sexually attracted to the father, as the anger behind the sound of the door slam insinuates that Mia wants the attention and sexual gratification from the father figure, Connor, that her mother Joanne in receiving. To merge this with the Freudian theme of repressed sexual trauma in the unconscious mind, arguably, the low key lighting of almost pitch black darkness that Mia steps out into in the hallway, could represent how in Freudian theory, the repressed memories of witnessing one's parents having sexual relations reappears in dreams. To represent the aspect of the Oedipus complex of the father figure acquiring a mutual sexual desire for the daughter figure, in performance, Connor looks at Mia; this insinuates that he is fully aware and not at all vexed that Mia is witnessing him having sexual relations. Furthermore this could suggest that Connor's aim is to coax Mia into having sexual relations with himself, by paying attention to her through eye contact - that is, through the diegetic male gaze - whilst he is having sexual relations. Connor leaving the door open as a macro feature of narrative, may highlight this idea; as it seems that Connor is seeking for Mia to pay attention to him having sexual relations. In this sense he is the patriarch of the household, and could represent Freud's idea of the dominant male in the primal horde, who had a monopoly over having sexual relations with any of the women of the horde he desired. Alternatively, it could be argued that it is Joanne who purposefully leaves the door open, within the macro feature of narrative, does this purposefully to boastfully display herself having sexual relations with Connor to Mia. This may be a statement that Mia is unwelcome into their sexual relationship or a hint that Joanne suspects that Mia has a sexual desire for Connor.</div>]]></description>
