-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Killing Eve
Final question:
Killing Eve represents different representation such as gender, ethnicity and patriotism. Gender can be represented through the character such as Eve who is both feminine and masculine that can be seen through her clothing and confidents which goes against the stereotype of feminist, she is very reckless and brave which reforce the masculinity type. Eve tend to wear baggy clothes but its also formal which goes against the stereotype of feminist, however Eve does care about her appearance, that can be shown through the dialogo and media language in the scene in the hospital bathroom, Villanelle says to Eve she looks nice with her hair down and then in a mid camera shot, you see Eve consider her words and leave her hair down which reforce she fits both masculinity and feminist role which butler theory links to since he talks about gender performative and how its not about the gender but how we preform the gender role, which can be shown with Eve because she doesn't perform one gender but both female and male, we can also see it in villelle who mostly plays the feminine role which can be see at the start of the episode with her carrying lots of shopping bags which fits the stereotype of being feminine as you can see she plays the female gender role.

In the flashbacks, his father get accused of stealing the necklace which lead him to go to prison, however he was found hanging from his prison which left Assane alone and filled with revange agaist the Pelligrini family.
context-
Lupin was set in just paris, showing they don't have that much money. Lupin has more class which highlights the class divison. France is known for being the highest European for gender equality. The racial tension is knowledge in lupin within society as are race and class are seen as intersectional, in every sitution those power are white and those who are lower are people colour.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lupin -Gender
Assane-
Assane is being represented as a cleaner at the start of the episode which isn't very masculine, he also seen not be able to provide for his son and isn't very present which. He is very smart and educated. When one of the gang members tries to attack him, he fights back which shows his strength and masculine side.
Babaker
- He is a gentlemen and is represented as a well educated male. He also very smart
mr prillgrini
- He is being represented as a white masculine who has power which can be shown through the study room scene, he is shown to have dominace and control over his wife.
mrs prillgrini
- listen to her husband and doesn't say anything when babaker is being accused
Juliette?- is being sexulised by the male gaze.
The gangs
- Represented as masculine, pins assane over the belcony, also the physical appearence show his muscles and the tatoos which is stereotype of gangs. Also seen as lazy.
claire
- Is being represented as a single mum, she looks tired yet well put together, that can be shown through the use of her clothes which shows she put together, however her face looks tired, she isn't seen outside the male gaze.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lupin- social class
lower class is being represented though the cleaning people which can be shown though the wide camera shot in the museme of different people cleaning, the use of mise-en-scene is shown with what they are wearing which is looks to be dirty cleaning clothes. Which can contast with the museme which looks fancy and where upper class would visit wearing nicer clothes. People of different race/ethincity is being shown as cleaners and are in the lower class which is a nagative representation and can be linked back to the context at the time lupin was released. Assane is also seen wearing baggy clothes and not put together which fits the lower class stereotype.
The location can represent the lower class with the use of the wide camera shot, you can see the walls are covered in grifeted which indicated that they the location isn't of someone who has money and power. Also they are seen as uneducated which can be shown though the gangs who lack knowledge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lupin-eithicy
Eithicty is represented though assane and bakaker. Bakekr is not treated in the same way as Mr Prilligrini who is a rich white man, you can see that babaker is being mistreated by the prilligrini and is being accused of stealing the necklace which repesents that people of different race and eithicty was being treated badly which links to the context of france at the time. During the covid pandemic and during that time france made a law allowing people of different eithicy allow into france unless they have good education. Whereas Mr prillgrini has power and is superiour which created good vs bad.
Assane can be see as overlooked and isn't treated the same as the prilligrini, during the aution secen when he 'brought' the neckless someone says 'someone like you' which could have be indicated towards his race. Assane can also be seen as someone who is well educated which links back to the context at the time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lupin- history and culture
{I don't think i understood the question}
-history is shown through the museums and the paintings such as the mona Lisa.
French has a negative attitudes to immigration when compared with other western European countries. Assane overall portrayal as a criminal in his involment with the stealing of the neckless reinforces the historical misrepsresenation and marginalistion of this social group.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lupin- age
- We can see that older generation there is two different represented of age that is being represented for example that can be seen through Mr Prillgrini who is seen is negative and not a happy man. Whereas we can see a postive representation though older age in Babakar who looks to be happy, wise and is a gentleman which is a classic stereotype of old people.
- The younger generation is being represented by being careless which can be seen through Juliette who smokes near the pool and kissed Assane.
- The middle? generation such as Assasin is being represented as hard working and struggling for money.
