  • to lead on to the point of amir's suspicion later on in the series, the show also shows us the political subplot with Troels Hartmann's campaign which implicitly mentions the political landscape of Denmark, including debates around immigration, integration and national identity, these themes become more pronounced with the suspicions of muslim teacher amir later on in the series, potentially shaped by a post-9/11 society in 2007
  • todorov narratology is subverted with the disruption of Nana's murder/disappearance driving the narrative forward at all points
  • there is a mise-en-scene of wet woods, stark interiors and lowkey lighting that conveys emotional isolation and moral ambiguity- relates to Roland Barthe's codes, rain and darkness in Nana's chase and the episode overall signifies darkness and woe- reflection of a reality in Denmark of its long winters
