James Bond: James Bond
is a calm, cool and collected figure. As the hero of the story, Bond remains immaculate
throughout the opening sequence. Bond remains serious and gets himself out of
sticky situations with ease and grace. Bond always seems to have the right tool
for the job.
Eve
Moneypenny: An obvious female counterpart to Bond and seen in much the
same way. Although she seems more emotional and slightly panicked than Bond,
she still managed to maintain a cool and calm façade for most of the start
sequence
M: A stonily calm woman who is ruthless
and sometimes unnecessarily cruel. When she told Bond to leave another agent to
die as long as Bond gets what she wants. She is the type of woman made to run organisations
like hers.
How far would you say that M is not typically feminine? You identify her character qualities well, but could develop the point by saying that she lacks traditional softer feminine traits, such as nurturing, compassion.
ReplyDeleteBond: again, good analysis; could you be very precise about the ways in which Bond is 'immaculate' to nail the mark? Similarly, for full marks, you would need to identify exactly what Bond does that 'gets him out of a sticky situation' and exactly what 'tool for the job' he handles with such consummate ease.
