How Is Dr Tuttle Portrayed In The Accused

446 Words2 Pages

The most influential scene of the movie was when Bill assaulted Dr.Tuttle on the ridge, you can feel the anxiety rising as he begins to attack her yet she fights back turning the screen on its head. Dr.tuttle goes from victim to murder mystery suspect while keeping the audience on her side. The least influential scene is when Dr.Tuttle is in the hospital, she apparently spends days there but nothing really changes after she leaves. It was simply an excuse to have some days pass. The Accused is typical with its content of rape, by not showing the reality of the majority of the time of how the victum is powerless to fight of the assult of the perpetrator. The Accused shows an optimistic take of the victim not only surviving but turning the tables …show more content…

I was also surprised that Dr.Tuttle down right killed Bill instead of just fighting him off or getting away. I had not thought much about how a victim might act after fighting off an assaliant, I never considered the psychological trauma that might be incureded even when successfully fighting off an assailant. The Accused sheds a new light on how a victum might act after such a traumatic experience with Dr.Tuttle unnecessarily hiding and sabotaging the invenstigation despite her only acting in self defense. I believe that within the context of The Accused rape is treated fairly legally. Dr.Tuttle although not explicitly said likely didnt get in any trouble after the events that took place. She wont be charged with murder despite killing someone because it was self defense from rape. In The Accused Dr.Tuttle hardly acts like a victum and much more like a perpetrator. Despite being the victum in the movie she acts and behaves like the bad guy. I don't think the movie is wrong for this interpretation but it dose fail show any greeted insight on the true plights of victims of rape. Dr.Tuttle is only outed as the victum after the boxing

    Whether it's the uncomfortably close camera shots or the faint whisper of breathing, she says what we all should be saying. Sexual assault of any kind is never right. Whether it's rape or a cat call walking down the street, the ability to make someone uncomfortable and unsafe in their own skin is unacceptable. Furthermore the film brings to light the different types of sexual assault. Taking on the responsibility of educating the viewer in how to notice and avoid sexual assault.

    His father is the sheriff and his mother sits at the top of a national auto supply chain and they are both so proud” (Page 5) Kellan Turner accused of being a rapist, didn’t receive a just investigation, because Kellan is the sheriff’s son, and has a higher point of power in the town. Whereas in a larger city like Toronto where people in authority don’t have personal connections to citizens, it’s easier to go into an unbiased investigation and find legitimate evidence to create a justified case. Therefore the setting of this novel shows that justice isn’t rightfully given to rape victims in small towns because justice isn’t blind in such settings, therefore not giving a fair trial and investigation for the

  • The Erlich Coker's Murder Case

    751 Words  | 4 Pages

    This is mainly because during this whole incident, Coker had just escaped from prison while serving multiple sentences and capital offenses, including murder, which, according to the Supreme Court, validates a death sentence. Furthermore, the state of Georgia’s laws mentions that rape can be punishable by death if it also occurred with or during a capital felony. Both instances were present because of Coker’s previous capital convictions, and the fact that the rape happened during an armed robbery since Coker stole the Carver’s car and threatened them with a knife. One could argue that what was really “grossly disproportionate” was the Justices’ decision and lack of common sense in this particular case. As stated by Justice Rehnquist, rape is not a minor or unimportant crime that can be overlooked, as it leaves vicitms with serious trauma and difficulties.

It’s not that surprising that they found him guilty, he apparently admitted in his confession where he had hidden the hammer he used to attack Lucy Fryer, and he signed

    When talking about Bill Cosby and him allegedly raping over 50 women, it is going to take time to get to the bottom of this trial. I feel as though if the women had been rape they should have said something back when it first happened. This has been untried and unpunished fro fifty years; why would anyone take the time out to try and put him in jail all these years later? I feel as though some of those women are lying because if the rape was that serious, they would have spoken up when it first happened. If I were to get raped, I would go to the police right after it happened and I would put the man that did it away fast so he wouldn't hurt anyone else again.

Our inconsistencies do not seem to trouble us, but they are truly puzzling. After all, if the offender is not to blame for his behavior, why would the victim be, no matter what she did or didn 't do?” After reading my story, I hope you can fully see who the blame should really be placed on. I’ve lived numerous years as the guilty victim, but am I really the one to you should be stamping your guilty verdict on?

  • Battered Women Syndrome Analysis

    She feels the need to hide under the “shield” of Battered Women Syndrome for protection. I am arguing that women do this in order to deflect the severe consequences that come with murder whether it was preemptively executed or not. I can argue this because men do not have a shield of protection or a fancy name for self-defense that they can hide behind in order to combat the severity of consequences that come with murder. Look at it this way, if the roles where flipped and a man was the victim, he would not have the luxury to claim Battered Man Syndrome, mainly because it does not exist. In addition, conservative critics reveal that “Battered Women Syndrome is a special privilege secured only for women that hides any ulterior motives that may have gone into the killing of the attacker” (Wallace, 1749).
