The media I will be analyzing is the film: The Vow. 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 main characters: Leo and Paige.

Leo:

  • Is very athletic 
  • Masculine 
  • Aggressive 
    • When he gets overwhelmed, can get aggressive or physical by punching wall
  • Competitive 
    • Gets very jealous when other guys talk to Paige
  • Assertive 
    • Stands up for what he believes and thinks
    • When he asks Paige out
    • To Paiges family 

 

Paige:

  • Very cheerful 
    • Even after the car accident 
  • Soft spoken 
  • Childlike 
    • Depends on her parents a lot
  • Gentle
  • Does not use harsh language 
  • Warm
  • Tender
  • Feminine 
    • In her dress and speech
