What’s next for Anora after her marriage is annulled
Anora is now at a crossroads
Anora receives the money she was promised for leaving Vanya, but that sum will only last her for so long. After quitting her job as a stripper, and being humiliated after having to pull Vanya out of the strip club in front of all her former co-workers, Anora probably won’t go back to work there, considering everything that happened . If she does, Anora must be prepared to face a lot of backlash, gossip and embarrassment. Anora may continue to work as a stripper, but she may be laying low for a while Before going back to work.

She needs time to recover, so she can live off the money she was paid for a while before figuring out what comes next in her life. Anora was involved in something that would stay with her for a long time, and she needed time to process everything that had happened.Her actions and Vanya’s actions, and how those things will shape and affect her going forward.
Why Vanya can’t fight for his marriage with Anora
For all that Vanya declared his love for Anora and wanted to marry her, he ran out of his mansion at the first sign of external conflict. Rather than talking to her, Vanya acted like a child. And in many ways, he is still a child who is not ready for a commitment as big as marriage. Vanya was very young, rich, and deeply privileged. When he married Anora, it was, in part, a break from his parents’ control. Vanya was convinced he could do whatever he wanted without their say – until he couldn’t.
Vanya pushing back against his parents’ wishes would have cost him his privilege, status and money, which was more important to him than being with Anora.
Because the reality was that Vanya was still living in the shadow of his parents. He was not independent; He had no money of his own and no job. Vanya didn’t fight for his marriage with Anora because he finally knew it wouldn’t last. It was only a matter of time until his parents found out and Vanya knew that. He was never going to be as serious as she wanted him to be about their relationship. He is still too afraid of his parents to break away from them And stand up for what he wanted.
For Vanya, marriage with Anora was like a game – he was heavily invested in their relationship and the happiness it brought him for a while before losing interest in it and moving on to something else. Vanya pushing back against his parents’ wishes would have cost him his privilege, status and money, which was more important to him than being with Anora. to him Anora was dispensable in comparison to the life he led. Vanya was simply a visitor passing by and Anora was collateral in his bid to have fun.
The real meaning of Anora
Anora Unboxes the mystery of a woman, specifically a woman who is a stripper, by the rich and powerful. Vanya makes promises he can’t keep throughout the film, and Anora suffers the consequences of his indifference. Anora is shunned and overlooked by Vanya’s parents because of her status and jobAnd the potential Oscar contender delves into the repercussions of rash decisions and how much a role wealth and influence can affect someone like Anora who doesn’t have those things at all.
Vanya’s family played with her and her emotions before dismissing her as beneath them. Anora is true in its handling of the situations of the title character, and the themes of the film emphasize the imbalance of power in Anora and Vanya’s marriage. The film is a surprising exploration of the various forms of control – be it parental, money and power-related, or patriarchal – and how it is used to maintain status and reputation. Anora gets the short end of the stick no matter what, and the film’s enduring message is just how unfair and horrible it is.
