Amelia Bechdel Test: Passes

 Right off the bat, Amelia passes this episode since the first interaction she has is with another female lead (Maggie) and they are talking about Maggie as she thinks of quitting her position at the hospital. Even though Amelia is not as present in this episode as others she plays an important role and showing her brother, but he needs to communicate more.

 

Sex Role Analysis

Feminine

  • Amelia shows Amelia compassion when she talks to her brother and steers him in the right direction to find out more information about an important event, as she can’t tell him what it is.

Masculine

  • Amelia shows a masculine trait by her body language as she stands tall and proud in all the scenes, she is in. This shows us that she feels powerful and in control.
