The girl is exploiting the guy for her own benefit and thr guy is exploiting her in a more sexist way.

If we view this through Marxism lens, Dicky would have the power as he is much wealthier than the other characters and therefore will have more power over them - Liam, Xavier, Magnus, Farhad

Dickie showed up originally to take advantage of Lois just for intercourse, while Lois tried to use Dickie simply for his money as he had a obvious symbol of wealth which was his car. Although Lois was really unsuccessful in exploiting Dickie, she still attempted it, while Dickie himself did in fact take advantage of her.

It shows how during those times a woman's worth was based off of her male relative and that all of society did not care about what she did after her father died.

]]> 2024-08-28 17:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/da214364/migy407pbodpw90y/wish/3092580909 Lois https://padlet.com/da214364/migy407pbodpw90y/wish/3092581900 it shows that Lois was never given anything in life and had to drop out of school for work so she can support her family. Because she is not as fortunate as others because of her dads passing. This lead her to feel that no one cared after her father and this is what lead to her hating people who have an easy life. -Xavier, Magnus, Farhad, Liam

Lois agrees to go out with Dicky because she sees the wealth before seeing the person. Dicky provides her with what she's wanted in life. Money, good clothes, etc. She might've also introduced Dicky to her mom to guilt him into staying. - Pranavi, Isabelle, Kayleigh

These two things would give you great power when this story took place.

The lower classes growing up more poor and treated like objects, while the upper classes are exploiting the lower classes for their own desires.

There's one "good restaurant" and some random lady sells alcohol (that doesn't even taste good).

For example, Dickie had more power over Lois because of his wealth. If he is portrayed as wealthy in the small town, he will be average in an upper-class town. So, the small town setting is essentially what gives Dickie his power over others -Liam, Magnus, Farhad & Xavier
