Notes on Alfie, regarding representation of women.


  • No respect for women,refers to her as 'it'.
  • Men are insulting towards women.
  • 'She's a standby and she knows it and any bird who knows their place can be quite content.'
  • Married women appears 'loose' and 'easy' -shows sexual revolution.
  • Reinforces expected gender roles.
  • Male dominance.
  • Everyone for themselves attitude.
  • Ideas of commitment,marriage and romance is made fun of if represented by men.
  • Promotes a negative representation of women - just as sexual objects.
  • Men show a lack of commitment in relationships.
  • Women are portrayed as wanting love in a relationship compared to men who just want fun with no commitments.
