Representations in Stranger Things


Representations in Stranger Things aren’t simple. They’re always going to be going beyond the typical binary situation. 

Stranger Things is novelistic. It always goes on over a length of time. 

  • We might see flashbacks
  • Systemic Change

REPRESENTATIONS IN STRANGER THINGS
  • Teenagers
Rebellious, Somewhat classical, stereotypical. Bullying the weak and nerdy (the whole AV Club thing)
  • Family Life
Extremely maternal, fathers distant. Siblings argue, absolutely no moment of happy family apart from the tent flashback.
  • Mothers
Classical damsel in distress. 
  • Absent Fathers
  • Police
  • Government
