The paper will require you to pick a female character from a movie or TV show. You will have to analyze her character/her actions/story arc and development on the screen and explain why she is a feminist hero or why she is not a feminist hero, referring to the material/concepts we discussed in class. Questions to consider: How is she represented? What are her strengths? Weaknesses? Is she in need of rescue? Is she autonomous? Is she objectified? Sexualized? How does the heteronormative patriarchy interfere with her? Is she replicating tropes? Does she break free of tropes?
