● With the use of Strauss’ theory of binary opposites, ‘Dawn’ represents gender by going against the stereotype, particularly in the thriller genre, as Dawn is the female murderer and 'John' is the male victim in the opening sequence.
Dawn's character, however does conform to some female stereotypes concerning actions and dress code:
The male character, John, also conforms to some male stereotypes concerning his character in the context of the whole film and dress code.
● Also, young people are represented as being sociable people that like to go out, drink and meet new people whilst also being naive and careless by putting themselves in dangerous situations.
