The main egnima
In the film I found the main question I was asking myself was why 'seemingly' 2 families were living together, why was this? It seemed it was a poor family had moved into a family of many riches. In the times of when the film was set Im sure there was a large seperation between Poor and Rich in those days where they would not come together. (bad wording there but I know what I mean) Maybe there family
Gender roles
As it was common in those days the men were the workers, the earners for the family. One excample of this is when the boy(Possibly from the poor family) was pushing the wheel barrow around while the woman of the household were inside practising acting from a script.
The woman also seemly seem to be more bossy, maybe this is just over the other family...
Another important point I noted was when the valuable item fell into the fountain, I would of thought as it was the mans fault that he would of gone in and be the gentle man but instead the woman was the one to go in herself, while the man seemed to laugh it off.
The woman didnt seem to like the fact the man had used her fathers money, to what looks to no avail, even though he assured her he was going to pay him back when he got a job, Seemingly to be show Hierachy.
Men were shown coming home from work, shouting hello to the household, woman respecting them as they come home, showing manners. Contractidicting the previous relationship with the other man from the other family, who was shown little respect.
