This text uses a semiotic psychoanalytical framework to analyze season two of The White Lotus. This text examines the significance of the artwork of the show and applies Lacan’s mirror theory to the series’ artwork and the character Ethan. This thesis posits that the artwork is edited to accomplish the following: 1) to act as a metaphorical mirror for Ethan (a component of mise en scéne) 2) to heighten the series’ cultural appeal 3) to surveil the hotel guests and 4) to foreshadow future events.
