stereotype representations in TV


there are many stereotypes in TV, such as the handsome man being the villain, or the female lover being kidnapped. some shows, however, use countertypes in their shows, reversing the roles.


in game of thrones, the handsome knight, Jaime lannister, is shown as being very good at fighting and being very attractive, so you would expect him to be the good guy, but instead he is evil, having pushed a kid from a building and killing many innocent people.



Arya stark is another who you would not expect to  be the way she is, s she is a young girl you would expect her to be very polite, wear fancy dresses and enjoy playing with dolls, but instead she likes getting muddy, wearing very dirty and ugly clothes, and practises sword fighting.



it does also have stereotypes though such as the queen cersei lannister,, who is evil and is only looking out for herself, and tries to kill a lot of good people so she can get what she wants. she also has a very intimate relationship with her brother, showing how evil she is. it is also very stereotypical as it has her as the loving mother who will do anything for her children, even kill people.

another character who is quite stereotypical is sansa stark, a teenage lady who is quite self obsessed, and talks about knights that she loves, and about dresses that she wears, and loves to be treated like royalty.
