So there's no way we can actually undertake an assessment of character based on the person we're dealing with, the character as depicted in the series, so that there is a gap.

And I think there needs to be recognition of that. And on that note, people might think, well, why analyzing a text when it's not the real world? Well, the thing is, texts are the interface between us and the world. That's how we negotiate the world often. I mean, we we do it through language to begin with. The language we're currently using.

And language is a form of text too. So there's always a mediator effector between us and the real world. And looking at esthetic forms like this television series, it often reveals things about us, the way we respond, the way we interpret it. It actually blows back on us too. So it's very revealing sort of activity in all sorts of ways.

It reveals individual character, it reveals cultural that values, social values, potential sexism, all those sorts of things. So it's always fascinating to look at texts because they, they tend to reveal us as much as we reveal them.
