#12 Sisters, Not Twins

Something Miller does on screen, but cannot on page, is with his subtle use of colour with the twins Goldie and Wendy. Goldie is presented to the reader with her colours, golden hair and red lips that lose their colour when she’s dead. Which means that when we first see Wendy we know before Marv does that it’s not Goldie, but someone else due to the lack of colour. This is something that Miller can only do on screen as this doesn’t work in the novel; the reader finds out when Marv does that Wendy is Goldie’s twin sister.
