Even when examining Anna’s early relationship with Jeff, when she arranges for him to come up on weekends with Chuck. He protests saying, “Jesus, I don’t even know the guy…why didn’t you call me first” (Wallace, 315). Her insecurity about whether or not Jeff would come up on weekends without this convenience allowed for a lack of communication of feelings between Jeff and Anna. However, of more importance is Anna’s lack of communication with Peter. A large part of what makes Anna herself is her ability and love of creating stories. When her husband does not share this, Anna finds this challenging, and lets it become a barrier for communication. “His face set in the pained expression he wears for conversations like this – “What ifs” speculations. When Jennifer and I sit in a restaurant making up stories about the people around us, he closes his eyes, just as he’s doing now” (Wallace, 317). Peters almost dismissal through the closing his eyes of Anna’s love for story making allows for a distancing and ultimately a deep seeded feeling of isolation and

The treatment of Lola in terms of how the camera represents her further emphasizes the male discontent of the Weimar Republic in the way the mise en scene reduces her character to an image. Additionally, it is clear that the male gaze is the lens that Lola’s presence embodies as is articulated in Jennifer Williams’s article “Gazes In Conflict: Lola Lola, Spectatorship, and Cabaret in The Blue Angel” where she states: “capturing a gaze, the body becomes inscribed with the cultural anxieties that motivate the gaze”. In fact, Lola’s characterization as a cabaret performer codes the male gaze in that fact itself as her role is to perform for (mainly) male patrons, tempt their desires, and then act on said desires. Her “image” is built up throughout
