However, gender can certainly be interpreted through the nature of human beings and the roles in which men and women partake in society. The movie It Happened One Night illustrates a distinction of gender in American society by characterizing the lead woman, Ellie Andrews, as a helpless and vulnerable individual, while the lead male, Peter Warne, is depicted as the exact opposite: firm and persistent. This juxtaposition also coincides with general stereotypes in American society; for example, the stereotype of males’ having more power than women.
