The class and status in the extract is shown through the Mis en scene. Merlin's clothes represent to the audience a lower class and status and they contrast against the grand castle. His clothes are torn and ragged telling the audience he is lower class and is most likely a servant. There is also a contrast between the outfits and appearance of Merlin and the woman, the woman is glamourised and it is clear she is upper class and of a higher status than Merlin, the colour of her dress connotes this as it is purple and is considered regal. When Merlin leaves the room we follow him instead of the women who is a high class, this is interesting and is an example of subversion.
