Finally, Jindabyne and Porphyria’s Lover demonstrates the idea that conflict can occur in a relationship when a person fails to live up to the expectations of the other. Conflict can occur when there is an imbalance of power, causing certain individuals to rise up against this oppression to try and shift the disparity of power.
