Social Stereotypes

Media industry uses many stereotypes so that it is easier for the audience to get a grasp on the movies story line and so that they don't grow connections to the antagonists. One example of a stereotype is presenting the women as the weaker sex and if they are by chance the protagonist they are usually quite 'curvy' so that it allows the audience to grow attached to them more easily.

The antagonists are usually presented as devious and tricking so that the audience could easily tell them apart from the protagonist.

  1. You seem to have understood the general idea although you refer to only a couple of stereotypes.
