In the world that surrounds Ludo, the binary distinction between male and female is a strong social construct. The people in the neighborhood Ludo lives in are not open to questions about gender but rather instill society’s norms about gender. Proving that gender and sex are culturally determined just as Judith Butler expresses. The neighbors, teachers and even principal are bullied by society into thinking that gender is a set distinction and that one is either a boy and behaves masculine or is a female and should act feminine. Once Ludo enters the community these people are faced with questions and opinions that rock the foundations of how gender should be interpreted. Ludos only escape from society’s construction of gender is the world of Mode De Pam, in which he can enter a world that has no restrictions about being who he feels he is, even if it is not the way he is perceived. The use of colors and the fantasy style of the world of Mode De Pam allows Ludo to escape the social constructs of surrounding world and enter a realm that accepts him for who he feels he truly is.
