This part of the scene shows a foot. The audience can connote that the foot belongs to a female because the image is anchored to the sound of a womans cries of agony, and also the womens underwear and handbag as shown before. Without the sound and other images, the audience would not be able to connote the gender of the person which is an important part in the verisimilitude of the diagetic world. The toes curling give two stereotypical representations, these are : somebody having sex and somebody in pain which, when put together, further enhance the connotations of rape. the rest of the woman is not shown so that the audience are left suspended and wondering what is happening to her, and also to enhance the denotations from the curling toes.
