Analysis Of Regina George In Mean Girls

154 Words1 Page

A character that I feel embodies one of Horney's three neurotic trends is Regina George from Mean Girls. I believe she embodies the trend of moving against people. First of all, she maintains a constant facade of being ruthless and throughout the movie exploits and uses others for her benefit. She never admitted her mistakes and was driven to appear perfect, powerful, and superior. Using her looks, she constantly made sure she had the upper hand and appeared as ideal as possible. She always felt the need to be admired and to achieve. Power, prestige, and personal ambitions are all needs that she presented. She constantly fed into other's insecurities, and used manipulation to get what she wanted from others. She also exploited her friends and

    I will be analyzing the character Schmidt in a short clip of flashbacks from the show New Girl; Schmidt is actually one of my favorite characters , but I am now realizing some things about him that I haven 't thought of before. For instance, in "Bachelorette Party," they showed a flashback of "fat" Schmidt in college with his ex-girlfriend before he became a body-obsessed guy and changed completely. Schmidt has also confessed in another episode of being judgmental of others appearances because of his experience as an overweight child that has left him emotionally traumatized. Many of the flashback videos put emphasis on his stomach, showing him having trouble with the topic of girls and eating large amounts of food. The shows flashbacks

    Conformity is present in every group situation with adolescents. Adolescents are always looking to be a part of a group, usually conforming to the standards of the group.

  • Mean Girls: Post-Feminist Analysis

    1687 Words  | 7 Pages

    It can be contended that varying contemporary texts which have been created for both children and young adults endorse post-feministic values and the importance of adhering to a consumer culture. The text Pink by Lili Wilkinson (2009) can be viewed as promoting post-feminist ideals through the inferences of dialog between characters; specifically, through the protagonist Ava. Additionally, the film Mean Girls (2004) mirrors similar ideologies as Pink which portrays a post-feminist society, revealing issues which individuals face once gender equality has largely been achieved. Both of these texts have been created for a young audience and utilise various narrative strategies to convey their ideological position. Accordingly, this essay will
