Vivienne and Edward shared a very similar trait in what their needs and wants were in this film. In order to survive Vivienne worked as a hooker on the streets to earn money. She did so by sleeping with men’s, this was her top priority in needs. Vivienne mentioned that she wanted to live a fairytale, which was what she wanted. As for Edward, he was leaning towards money and his business. He wanted a successful company to be able to become a bigger billionaire.

The goals that Vivienne viewed throughout the start of the film were the need to sleep with men’s on the street for money. She did not have any plans for her future besides making money in the present. Vivienne did not value herself and she mistreated her body. She wore very provocative clothes and her sense of belonging directed towards the streets and clubs. She depended on those areas to find men’s with money to sleep with. Vivienne was constantly judged and mistreated for the way she dressed and what she did for a living. Being a hooker she was looked down on and lowered.

In Edwards case, he reviewed his goals were to expand his companies business and to build up his financial status. He had no thoughts on building up a family or being in a long committed relationship.

    “You might be correct about Julia Roberts and Pretty Women, and that she was not a stripper, however, are you aware of the research she out into the role? The time she did spend with exotic dancers, and high-class prostitutes in an attempt to understand them, so that when audiences viewed the film, they could believe she was Vivian Ward? Does consorting with such people and learning from them make her immoral, Katrina, and lessen your respect for the woman or does it just make her an actress, a professional, who wanted nothing more than to give the best performance possible?

    Edward Bloom is a man true to himself, his family, and his dreams. Tim Burton portrays him as a man of great value and the light in dark places; Edward sees himself as that as well as thoughtful, loyal, handsome, and very courageous. The world is portrayed as mysterious for it is always dark though Edward sees it as a very big and unexplored place. He also thinks it is exciting for its mysteries that are held within it yet boring because he’s stuck in reality and information-not imagination. It is for this reason that Edward likes to mess with reality in his stories; for example, Edward retells the story of his absence at William’s, his son, birth. Doctor Bennett concludes the real story of Edward’s absence at William’s birth with a simple, “Not very exciting is it?” Edward’s views of both himself and the world are combined in a way in which Edward turns into an immortal fish in the water which is mostly unexplored and filled with mysteries like the world above.…

    From the beginning of the novel, exploitation can be clearly seen as the significant and recurring theme. It is so miserable that Griet is utilized by her own parents through the way they make her work for Vermeer household without forewarning and negotiation to earn the whole family living because they “have no choice”, even though they declare that they “are not ruled by riches”. What is more, they also ‘encourage’ Griet’s relationship with Pieter the butcher’s son, but for no reason other than “the content to take the gifts of meat and have her stand in an alley with him”, to keep a solid income. “I also knew what a hardship it would be to them to have him come….despite my wages and what my mother made, they could barely feed themselves”, “I looked in her eyes and saw there the hunger for meat that a butcher’s son could provide”. It is digested that her parents “set aside their pride” and see Pieter proposal as “a way of filling their own stomach in the future. A butcher’s wife and her parents would always eat well”. They do not care about her emotions, they do not ask if she likes him, agree to marry him or not. Being aware of his importance, Pieter imposes upon Griet as well -…

    In addition, the restricted roles of women in the novel remind readers of the link between sex and morality, in the 1600s. Griet is notably anxious throughout the novel in protecting her image and not being cast as fallen women, all the while complying with the demands of her master and his patron. After Griet manages to escape a lecherous encounter with the vulgar Van-Ruijven, he retorts with “you know I will have you anyway, when I get that painting” (pg.219).
