Wonders Woman Vs Wonder Woman

“It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a paper about the makers of them comic books! “

In the novel, Diana runs away due to becoming pregnant and expecting a newborn with a wedded man. On page 153 it Diana mentions, "I'm going to have a child, Lyddie." In the movie, Diana becomes ill due to working at the mill for so long. Diana is later seen in a hospital, which wasn't even in the book, where she eventually dies of natural causes. Losing this part of the book took out part of Diana's character with her departing out of the story much less meaningfully. The movie also loses the shock and surprise of Diana's sudden departure. While Diana's character doesn't go through complete development, other characters don't develop at all.

The Wonder Woman character went through different changes from different authors who kept creating her journey. In the beginning Wonder Woman was written by William Marston but after his death in 1947, the Wonder Woman went through a change due to a different writer taking over. As Steinem states, “She became sexier-looking and more submissive, violent episodes increased, more of her adversaries were female, and Wonder Woman herself required more help from men in order to triumph.” (271) This change made Wonder Woman a different character than what readers fell in love with in the beginning. As

The American Dream is an idea that many Americans share and have faith in, but it can be used as a false promise of success. This notion is explored through the texts The Great Gatsby and Of Mice and Men written by F.Scott Fitzgerald and John Steinbeck respectively. The Great Gatsby was first published in 1926. The novel is set in the summer of 1922 and follows the life of Jay Gatsby who tries to get the love of his life back, Daisy Buchanan, through his wealth and social status. Of Mice and Men follows the lives of George Milton and Lennie Small who are migrant farm workers. Lennie is mentally incapable but George is there to protect him. They both share a dream of one day owning a farm together. The authors have constructed the setting,

There are lots of films of The Great Gatsby, some of them are successful and the others aren’t. The film that adapts more to the novel of The Great Gatsby is The Redford Gatsby and the other that seemed more modern day is The Decaprio Gatsby. The Character that captured my attention was Daisy Buchanan. She said many things throughout the novel and movie that someone could relate to. Daisy was also the center of the novel or should I say the “Golden Girl.” She is also sardonic and somewhat cynical, and behaves superficially to mask her pain of her husband's constant infidelity.

In Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby he portrays the characters Daisy and Myrtle as foolish and in subjection to men showing that women were dominated by men and played inferior roles during this time period. With this interpretation Fitzgerald was striving to bring out the two main points of, the society being mainly dominated by men as well as women using their cleverness to get whatever they wanted to benefit themselves in society. Daisy and Myrtle are two good examples that show Fitzgerald’s interpretations through the way both of them are characterized. There is plenty of evidence to show why Fitzgerald characterized Daisy and Myrtle in the way he did to prove the interpretation mentioned above.

In this turn of events, the maiden rescues the knight rather than the traditional knight in shining armour coming to the rescue of the maiden. Marie might have found it attractive that this gives all the power and strength to the woman rather than the man. Typically, the man has control of when he sees the woman or who knows about them, but in this situation, the woman has complete control. I give you all of my love at your discretion but in return you give me complete anonymity until she says otherwise and he will get all the riches. Lanval, a man with no friends or lovers due to his devotion to the king, took advantage of this situation. He fell in love with this woman but when he got in trouble, he was unable to tell anyone who she was until

Through the years, Wonder Woman has maintained a high level of popularity considering that she is a woman in an otherwise man infested world, from both the world of comic characters and the consumers who buy them. As a result she has been somewhat of a trailblazer in the industry that has since added characters such as Super Girl, Wonder Girl, Cat Woman, and Marvels long list of female characters such as Jean Grey/Phoenix, Storm, Rogue, Mystique,

When Wonder Women was first popular she started to join the DC Comics in 1941.The reveal of Wonder Women brought about a change to the DC Comics world.Wonder Women is representing feminist icon and Women’s Movement.She is a role reflecting the changing time in the world and reflects passion for change.Wonder Women is also a role model for all young girls and women that want to persuade their dreams or do anything that they believe they can do.

The article “Out of Character: Wonder Woman’s Strength is Her Compassion- What Happened”, by Stevie St. John takes a look at the various depictions of Wonder Woman’s character. As many know, Wonder Woman is shown to have compassion for people with the goal of fighting for “peace, justice and equality” (St. John, pg. 459). However, there was a time when Wonder Woman was depicted to be angry and heated when using her powers (St. John, pg 459). Regardless of the slight multiple shifts of Wonder Woman’s character, super heroes were simply present to fight evil and defend justice. However the methods have shifted and the article proposes that September 11th played an influence in the superhero industry. With this, there is an article by the Los Angeles Times named “Post- 9/11 world: What caused the rise of superhero movies” by Cassandra Hsiao, that takes a look at this new movement.

She has never learned to take care of herself, because she believes a man will always be there to rescue her” (Bogarosh 21). In her book, she highlights female roles in the top grossing movies from the 2000’s and analyzes their purpose in the film. One example is the 2002-2007 trilogy of Spider-man directed by Sam Raimi. Mary Jane is the main female character and is saved by Spider-man seven times throughout the films. She serves as a plot device in all three films, being held hostage by the movies main villain and ends up being a trap for Spider-man to come and save her, but is met with a final showdown with the villain. Bogarosh also mentions two other females in the films, Aunt May and Gwen Stacy, and states they serve the same purpose, both held hostage by the villain and need to be rescued by Spider-man. These characters are depicted as weak, lacking leadership, and can’t take control of a situation, always needing a hero to save the day. Instead of developing the female characters, maybe giving them a backstory or even having them fight some of their own battles, they are represented as frail boring characters, while the male roles are more fleshed out. We get to see Spider-man’s history, his perspective on the story, and see him save the day, while the females are only there to be saved by him and serve no other purpose.

Wonder Woman is progressive and the perfect example of a capable woman. In an interview, Carter defends Wonder Woman stating that she portrayed her as strong woman whose actions say “You have a problem with a strong woman? I am who I am, get over it.” (Williams). Gadot also makes a powerful statement in accordance with female liberation on and off of the set of Wonder Woman.

To some, wonder woman is regarded as a feminist icon. However, O’Reilly does not believe so because of the submissive themes that her creator included in the comics.

“Wonder Woman is a walking- and sometimes flying- paradox of attributions and images. She is, at once, a female sex symbol and feminist icon: physically vulnerable, morally virtuous, financially independent, self-determining, and, in tune with her womanly ways, self-sacrificing” (Wright 6). Wonder Woman was created by William Marston in order to show and achieve women empowerment. At the time that Wonder Woman was assembled, there were no women superheroes. The only superheroes that were created at the time were powerful, strong, fully-clothed, white, males. Even though Wonder Woman is just as powerful and important as other male superheroes, she is often easily centered out from other superheroes because of her physique, lack of clothes,

In the beginning of comics, it was male-dominated and that didn’t seem like it was going to change, until Wonder Woman came along, and this fact alone makes her a massive emblem of female empowerment in the world. She was still written by a man, but it was a start of a whole new era. Wonder Woman’s story begins on an island of all women who called themselves The Amazons. The queen of The Amazons wanted a child and her tribe told her to make one out of clay, and thus, Diana AKA Wonder Woman was born. Diana was “as lovely as Aphrodite, as wise
