4 | The meaning under the text. Here's an example from Creator/WoodyAllen's ''Film/AnnieHall''. The subtext is directly under the text, in italic. |

6 | ->HER: Hi!\ |
7 | ''Oh, God, nobody cool says Hi.''\ |
8 | \ |
9 | HIM: Hello!\ |
10 | ''I'd love to take her out. I hope my deodorant's working.''\ |
11 | \ |
12 | HER: Nice view.\ |
13 | ''He's talking to me! And he'll hate my silly dress.''\ |
14 | \ |
15 | HIM: (Taking a furtive step toward her) Just look at the clouds over there.\ |
16 | ''I've got to find out who she is.''\ |
17 | \ |
18 | HER: I'm Leslie ...\ |
19 | ''What a stupid name. He'll hate it and hate me.''\ |
20 | \ |
21 | HIM: Neat dress.\ |
22 | ''I just love her name.'' |

24 | The example is about a sexual attraction, but there are tons of other things that it could be about, anything which is not being said out loud about a topic that is present in the context. Note, in particular, that subtext can be (and frequently is) [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic read into a work where none was actually intended by the author]]. |
