    Lilith

Second after she tells Stone character “you think you’ve won” and no further victory from her later arrives. Stone is a rape survivor who has done everything to secure a social position that will protect her from such things, but the last scene shows she has ended up right back in that position of loss of agency through sexual subjugation
