pan's labrynth (cont.)

A friend pointed out to me that the revolutionaries are the third element and was surprised to see I neglected them in my review. Maybe she is right, but their stogory isn't the focus and they are only introduced in a generic, negation of the existing regime, way. The story, if there would be any, would be the servant woman who helps the revolutionaries because her brother is numbered among them. The servant isn't following the law (the father) and is the only representation of the feminine in any active sense... but, I don't think we are presented with any growth or change in her character and thus she isn't the story (but along with several other characters i.e. the doctor) could have been more but why talk about what could have been? It's not the story.
