This research paper: A 5 page paper discussing this 1949 film in terms of the social norms of the day. Lupino’s unmarried waitress experiences rejection and indifference as her pregnancy becomes apparent. The treatment she receives and the lack of caring on the part of others are components of the societal view and expectations for young women, and the fact that others fail to see those reactions as unremarkable is in itself unremarkable. Others’ reactions are in keeping with society’s expectations, and serve to highlight the very different life experiences of the “good girls” and the others. With her pregnancy, the waitress crosses the boundary into otherness. Bibliography lists 1 source.
