Think of V, Sutler, Fingermen, The Resistance, Theo and Jasper. Do they reinforce or challenge stereotypes?
-V has feminine traits because he dances, enjoys music and cries when Evey leaves him
-Theo shows his nurturing side when he helps Kee take care of the baby. Challenges stereotype because he fits a motherly role of nurturing and care
-The heroes don't conform to the male stereotype, where as the other male characters do. For example, the priest is driven by sex and Sid is shown as quite aggressive towards the females. Theo and V hold feminine traits; V enjoys dancing and arts whereas Theo is very paternal and nurturing.
Femininity
Women are quite masculine; Evey has her hair shaved and gives birth to the revolution. In Children of Men, women are seen as weak and dependent on men
National Identity
Fascist views in the past - V for Vendetta referring to Nazi Germany. Children of Men is futuristic
