MY PRODUCT AND THE REPRESENTATION OF MEN WITH IN THE FAMILY

The over all narrative of my product, is this idea of a male figure who whittles his way into unsuspecting families, through manipulating the mother. He portrays himself as the ideal

“family man” in order to take over their lives and eventually have rid of them.

This is a reflection of a typical feminist view point, in the sense of where the male is the dominant figure, and takes advantage of women; which in the real world is not always

the case, the majority of the time.

This is contrasted by my representation of the innocence of the young. This is established through the use of the school uniform, which could also connote the control over the boy, from his “father”, in the

same way as the school ultimately has control over him.
