Presentation transcript:

Damsel in Distress Archetype Terima, Jenna, Alexis, Elvin, Ricardo, Blanca

What is an Archetype? - A very typical example of a certain person or thing. - A collectively inherited unconscious idea, pattern of thought, image, etc.,universally present in individual psyches.

Definition of Damsel in Distress -Commonly represents a woman. -Usually needs to be rescued. -Helpless and weak. Distress in the form of a beast or some obstacle. -Seen as a prize to the rescuer.

Description Physically: -Beautiful -Caring -Weak -Feminine

Example 1: Grimm's Rapunzel -Classic damsel in distress. - Rapunzel is a beautiful young woman in need of saving. - Relies on the hero to rescue her from the tower. -Lives happily after being saved.

Example 2: Spider Man -Mary Jane is young and beautiful -Needs to be saved from the evil villain

Example 3: Super Mario's Princess Peach -Modern Damsel in Distress -Pink=feminine -Always in trouble with the villain. -Her happiness is by being saved.

" A character, usually female and nubile, is portrayed as helpless and in danger in order to put the cast in motion. In particular the cast in unified, putting aside differences in pursuit of the rescue." - TvTropes

Analyze - Damsels are not always in "distress" (i.e. Rapunzel) - Gives purpose for the hero. -Stereotype, and a way to constrict woman.

Why? - Affects young girl's expectations. -Expect to be dependant of a man. -Girl's will believe every guy will good.

Question? Does the Damsel in Distress archetype have an affect on the male ego?
