Micro-analysis: “When he looks at me, the way he looks at me… He does not know, what I lack… Or how I am incomplete. He sees me for what I am, as I am.” This quote demonstrates one of the central themes in the movie. Elisa is an outcast in society because she is mute. She is a very intelligent woman, but her disability has only allowed her to get a job as a cleaning lady. Her whole life, Elisa has convinced herself that she is in some way incomplete because that is what society has pushed her to think, but when she meets the Amphibian Man everything changes. This creature does not see a single thing wrong with her because his mind hasn’t been corrupted by society, and for the first time ever she is seen as a whole human. Comments: This movie
