Amelia Bechdel Test: Fails
Amelia fails the test this episode as the only time she’s talking one-on-one to somebody it is to her brother Derek. She does have one scene where there is another female lead character, but Derek is there, and they are also talking about a male patient
Sex Role Analysis
Feminine
- Amelia shows emotion later in the episode as she finally lets her brother know that he is getting in her space and getting on her nerves. Showing emotion and being vulnerable is more seen as a feminine trait in tv shows.
Masculine
- Amelia shows a few masculine traits when she talks to her brother by talking as she is rasher and in charge of the conversation by reminding him that she is the chief of Neurosurgery. This is also shown in her body language as she never turns her back to her brother. Along with the yelling, she asserts her dominance of having power.
