Jane The Virgin Conflict

Decent Essays
Ah, it’s that familiar new-mother television plot: Jane has to find a babysitter. Not just any babysitter, but the perfect babysitter. That’s hard enough, but Jane has an additional, unconventional worry because she has no idea what Sin Rostro currently looks like and could, unknowingly, hire this evil woman to take care of her baby. “Jane the Virgin” is dramatic but, fortunately, not that dramatic. (At least not yet; who knows when and how Sin Rostro will pop back up in Jane’s life?)

    Gender roles and masculinity are social themes that are frequently discussed in our society and apply uniquely to Latin@ culture. ‘Macho’ is simply the Spanish translation of ‘male,’ but it has taken on connotations that relate to having masculine qualities. In the context of Latin America, ‘machismo’ is a term that relates to male sexuality; it is “a concept that dictates many aspects of Latin American male behavior,” (Kobashigawa). Such qualities are performative in that men and women are expected to act according to social norms. Masculinity itself is not a negative quality to have; however, certain Latino men exhibit ‘hypermasculinity,’ which is “an exaggerated sense of masculinity stressing such attributes as courage, virility, and domination,”…

    The photograph, “The New Mothers”, by Sally Mann is not only a very contradicting photo, but is also viewed by many people to be a contradictory statement. The photograph appears contradictory because through this snap shot, Mann is stimulating the maturity of the children, and fostering the idea that all females will grow up to have a part in motherhood. Mann is challenging the global standpoint of femininity. It is an overall global view today, that whether you get married and then have children, or have children and then get married, most women will become a mother at some point in her life. Mann demonstrates several key elements in this photograph like the landscape, body language, focus, and the usage of props.…
