Secondary

Confidence: High

Rosemary's deep Catholic faith is portrayed with sympathy and respect. Her prayers and religious artifacts are sources of comfort and moral guidance for her, even as she is victimized by the cult. The film's narrative aligns with the dignity of her faith, positioning the audience to sympathize with her as her beliefs are tragically undermined by the pervasive evil.
