Mia Thermopolis
Mia Thermopolis is the average teenager - sweet, a little geeky and pretty much invisible to everyone with the exception of her mother, best friend Lilly and Lilly's older brother Michael. Making it through high school without throwing up is a challenge in itself for Mia, so it doesn't come as welcome news when her estranged grandmother shows up out of the blue and calmly informs her that she is in fact the heir to the throne of a European country called Genovia. Suddenly Mia's life is thrown into complete overload. She's being taught about scarves, waves and pears in order to become a perfect princess, she gets a makeover and a tough looking yet sweet bodyguard/limo driver called Joe.

    False Stereotypes In Quinton Tarantino's Pulp Fiction

    Mia is discussed in a dialogue by Vincent Vega(John Travolta) and Jules(Samuel L. Jackson) before she is even seen on screen. Vincent casually mentions to Jules that he is taking the "boss's wife" out while Marcellus is out of town. Jules warns Vincent of a rumor he has recently heard about Marcellus throwing a man named Antwan off of a roof for giving Mia a foot massage. This scene in the movie gives the viewer the sense that Marcellus is not only protective of his wife, but also dangerously protective. When we meet Mia, it is obvious that she is a very powerful character. Where she derives that power is from her husband, Marcellus. For example, when Vincent refuses to dance with her at Jackrabbit Slims, she subtly threatens him. "I do believe Marcellus, my husband, your boss, told you to take me out and do whatever I wanted. Well now, I want to dance." This quote proves that Mia Wallace does not have any power of her own, but derives power from her husband. This portrays women to be powerless without the attachment of…

    Act of Revenge or No?

    “ON THAT GLORIUS NOONDAY when Dulce Rosa Orellano was crowned with jasmines of Carnival Queen, the mothers of the other candidates murmured that it was unfair for her to win just because she was the only daughter of the most powerful man in the entire province, Senator Anselmo Orellano” (Charters, 2011, p.42). This first paragraph of the passage as well as the title of the story leads the reader to prepare for some sort of battle. The story goes on to discuss how her looks were not the cutest but because she was talented in playing the piano and had the ability to dance well it compensated for her attractiveness. The story went on to discuss how many men from other villages came out to meet her at the dance (this is where she was crowned). Once they returned to their village make believe stories of her beauty were discussed such like the game of telephone where each time it was transferred to another they added on to the tale. With all of the envy and commotion will something happen to her father and with her being the only child and a female instead of a male will she be capable of retaliating against the wrong done to her family or no?…
