Female stereotypes in the media



Theresa from Hollyoaks- Typical blonde. She is an attractive teenager. Always has
a boyfriend or partner and has been pregnant before, despite being around 17 years old.
In this picture is wearing pink whichhas the connotations of being girly and feminine. She also
has a flower in her hairwhich is another sign of feminity. In the background out
 of focus, there is a guy looking at her. He looks as if he is either voyeuristiclly or
 fetishistically looking at her. This is a typical representation of girls
being portrayed as 'objects'.





Carmel from Hollyoaks- typical blonde 'bimbo'. She is wearing a lot of make-up that
looks badly applied, so the connotation of that is she is just a typical,

blonde, quite cheap looking woman. She's also wearing big hoop earrings

which some people often thing of as 'chavvy'. Carmel also has had a boob job
and has big breasts, which means she is objectified a lot in the programme by men.
