Line 21:
* [[Ironic Name]]: What would you name a town in the middle of a bone-dry desert that is afflicted by neverending, punishing winds? "Sweet Water", of course.
* [[Kissing Cousins]]: This doesn't happen but Cora is petrified that it will, and Beverly does indeed seem a little too happy about his lovely cousin coming to live with them.
* [[Production Posse]]: Gish, Hanson, and director Victor Sjostrom had all previously collaborated on a 1926 adaptation of ''[[The Scarlet Letter]]''.
* [[Rape as Drama]]: We don't actually see Wirt rape Letty, but it is very strongly implied.
* [[Rape Discretion Shot]]: It was 1928. We see Wirt threatening Letty, and we cut to the next morning where Letty is near-catatonic while a smug Wirt assumes that now she must go away with him.
