Butch Lesbian
 Jack & Diane / int_14c04cad
comment
Butch Lesbian: A mild example. Jack, a lesbian, has short hair and wears boyish clothes at all times (except while swimming). Otherwise though she has none of the stereotypical traits.

Disappeared Dad: Only Jack and Diane's mothers appear or are mentioned. This doesn't mean either one's dad is gone, but it's rather conspicuous.

Out of Focus: Diane's sister and aunt only appear in a couple scenes, while neither gets developed. Jack's friends are more characterized than either of them.

Bittersweet Ending: Jack and Diane part ways, with Diane's affliction left unresolved. Plus it seems Jack is now infected. However, Jack gives Diane a cherished possession, showing that she truly loves her.

Animalistic Abomination: The werewolf, which can only be said to somewhat resemble a wolf. It's a very grotesque, vaguely lupine monster.

Driven to Suicide: Jack's brother shot himself in the past due to his girlfriend leaving him. She's still traumatized by it and mourns him, with a tragic keepsake of his (a tape that he gave to his girlfriend) in her possession.

Masculine–Feminine Gay Couple: Jack, who's a mildly butch lesbian, is drawn to girly Diane. They fall for each other and date, although it's a very bumpy ride.

Always Identical Twins
 Jack & Diane / int_8f00b02a
comment
Always Identical Twins: Diane and Karen, her twin, are completely identical. They even sound alike, so Jack mistook Karen as Diane on the phone. Both dress very differently though, and have different hair color.

Queer Romance: Diane and Jack's romance is the main through line in the film. They meet just after the beginning, and it develops across the film until they break up at the end.

Our Werewolves Are Different
 Jack & Diane / int_f8b3fa5d
comment
Our Werewolves Are Different: Diane's condition is apparently meant to be lycanthropy, though it's far from clear in the film itself. Mostly she dreams of turning into a monster that bears only the merest resemblance to a wolf or any similar creature, it's not affected by moon cycles specifically (but apparently it coincides with Diane menstruating) and never even clear if she's transformed.
