For example, Meredith, the main character and who the Tv show is named after, is extremely portrayed as having severe trust issues and being overly emotional. What caused her trust issues was her father leaving her and her mother, at a very young age, for another woman. Even though this may justify her trust issues, it is still an example of how she was a victim of the patriarchy.
Another example of a stereotype Grey's Anatomy included was Meredith's father becoming a drunk after the loss of his current wife. It is expected for men to, after an important loss, turn to alcohol and ignore their problems. Thatcher Grey, Meredith's father, became addicted to drinking which caused meredith a mix of emotions which were explained throughout the episodes.
In every episode, with the exception of some episodes narrated by other characters, Merethid's complex and detailed emotions are expressed through narration. This causes the viewer to sometimes become overwhelmed with the constant conflict she speaks about.
