“reconciliation of social class . . . reinforced by the gaze that the flâneur appears to cast in the direction of the leaning worker” (Fried 21).

For example, the typical set up of a romantic comedy is one that involves a male and female.

Some men often times find themselves going to the strip club every weekend or every other weekend because of the pleasure they receive from it. My first time ever going to the strip club, I spent my whole check there (Ross). This benefits the strippers even more because it supplies them with a steady flow of income each week.

to as an artist. There are particular things Hal Foster brings up throughout Chapter 1. For example, he discusses and brings up the concept of the gaze and quotes Jacques Lacan, “the subject is looked at from all sides” (19).

The first shot we’re presented with is of a woman in a very sexualised swimming costume, supporting that the advert follows Male’s Gaze theory. Additionally, in the advert, the woman’s body is focused on by the camera. Although, in…
