This episode of "Black Mirror" is how Martha tries to deal with her partner's death. When her friend Sarah recommends Martha an internet system, which allows people to connect with the dead ones, Martha gets angry because it is not acceptable for her. However, after her communication with the robot she wants more. This episode has so much foreshadowings in it and this is one of them. When Ash was alive, she was so annoyed because of Ash's phone addiction. She addicted to her phone after the death of Ash. Also, at the beginning of the episode we see news about Synthetic Fleshes this is one of the foreshadowings too. The narrator lets us know about synthetic fleshes has some point in the episode. In the episode we also see so much symbols, like the tree scenes when Ash goes. The tree in here symbolizes rebirth for Ash and new life for Martha. And the sun's going down symbolizes the ending relationship of Martha and Ash. Also the setting has a significant role in this episode. For example the attic is where the people put the things that they do not want to see anymore and Martha does this to robot of Ash. She puts him to the attic. To conclude, I really like how the scenarist connects this episode with the literary devices such as foreshadowing, symbolism and setting.
