Representation of Femininity -

Pink clothing
Shown as insecure - she is trying to run away - but we can see why she has done it (to escape her relationship)
lots of costumes being brought in behind her - she likes fashion - stereotypical of a woman
Designer clothes - expensive taste
Long hair, makeup
female support
she has got fear of leaving and being on her own
she almost accepts the fact that she is not strong and admits that she will be likely to stay in the relationship.
