Question

What is subconscious social commentary?

Answer 1

The subconscious one would be the last option because the writer never actually challenges the customs but shows a problem

Answer 2

Answer: when a writer points to a problem caused by social customs without explicitly challenging those customs.

A social commentary is the use of rhetorical devices in order to comment on the problems of society. This is usually a critique, and it is intended to promote change or to appeal to people's sense of justice. However, when this commentary is done subconsciously, the writer points towards the problem but does not explicitly challenge the customs.
