Archetypes of Women

A huge favorite in many movies types from, drama to fantasy has always been the simple plot, man saves the girl. You know, the pretty girl is captured, or in some sort of danger and the strong male heroine comes in and saves the day. Very rarely do we see something where the woman saves the day. 

From early on black and white films, to current horror movies we see in theaters today, the female 9 out of 10 times is the victim and needs assistance. 

Even in children's cartoons we had the typical archetype female, for example we have Scooby Doo, the beautiful Daphne need Fred to save her at most costs, granted we have the strong intelligent Daisy who tends to be one step ahead of even the boys. The show, and movie are a great example of not only the typical female archetype, but also that of the newer "stronger" woman, who does not always need the male figure to come in and save her. 

Even in books such as Twilight, we have Bella who just cant seem to keep herself out of all sorts of danger. She has the two strong male figures Edward, and Jacob who continue to fight for her and save her, what seems like day after day. Bella is your typical helpless girl, she can surly put herself in all sorts of danger, but can never see to get out alone. 

The Classical plot of boy saves girl, is a timeless tradition something readers and movie watchers for years to come will all forever find themeless getting completely wrapped up in.
