The exposition of Todd Haynes’ Far From Heaven, begins with a kind and wealthy woman, Cathy Whittaker, who lives the perfect American dream. Frank’s success allows her to plan events and spend time at home as a housewife. Along with that, many of Cathy’s friends and the townspeople envy her lifestyle because she lives in a big house, has one son and one daughter, and a husband who loves her. Not only does Cathy have a great personality, but she also treats Raymond, her African American gardener, and his daughter kindly.
However, Cathy’s happiness takes a toll when she discovers her husband’s affair with men-the inciting incident. Frank often returns home from work late at night because he spends his time at a gay bar, which Cathy remains unaware
