The media I will be analyzing is the movie 13 Going on 30. In this post I will be outlining the stereotypical gender roles given to us by the sex role perspective portrayed in the film by the two main characters: Jenna and Matt:
Jenna:
- Jenna’s Character is very naive, childlike, and gullible
- Jenna loves children
- Not susceptible to flattery
- Does not use harsh language
- Soft spoken
- Warm
- Shy
- Sympathetic and eager to soothe hurt feelings
- When Jenna is younger, she wishes to be popular and admired by the boys in her grade
Matt:
- Very charming
- Young Matt is always trying to help Jenna in any way he can, wants to be her “hero”
- Self reliant and very independent, especially with his career
- Matt defends his own beliefs, even if they aren’t “cool”
- Strong personality
