representations in Bonnie and Clyde

the women in Bonnie and Clyde were all wearing long dresses and skirts throughout the whole movie, dressed very modestly and listened to their male partners. they were all “wives” or obeying a male in some sort of way. Other from Bonnie they were all married and all very respectful and obedient, as that was the stereotype at the time.

the men in the movie Bonnie and Clyde were all very dressed up, good jobs and would have a wife that they would tell what to do. they would be proper and dominating. unlike the women they would be the automatic “boss” towards their partners.

there was only one person of colour in the movie, a farmer, he was working at the house that got stolen from the bank. he did not say much because he was very low class and had no authority.

there was a lot of working class Americans, a really good example was. C.W Moss, who they picked up along the way of one of their crimes, he was living in a small house with his father. it was a small business that they ran to make a small amount of money.
