nuclear family. However, while sexuality only appears in the heterosexual model it is also exclusively performed by female characters. Heterosexuality is enforced by the male characters throughout the text, but also reproduced in the attitudes of the women. Sexuality as a construct in this context refers to situations in which people speak either suggestively or overtly about sex and sexual situations.
