From this clip we can establish that 'Mary has grown more independent and somewhat more mature. Despite being in fear of 'Tosca' (her partner), she seems to retaliate and respond more to what her partner has to say. From her body language we can decipher her role within the clip. She acts unresponsive as though not paying attention to 'Tosca' however this could also be portrayed as fear, her fearing 'Tosca'.
Her character represents the wider context rather well to the female population this in turn proves that women's rights are still thought of today, however in contrast to the set time (1970's) the rights of women were developing.
What signs are there that 'Tosca' and 'Mary' hold different ideologies?
The gender convention within the clip is challenged from both perspectives of each gender. 'Mary's' ideology is that of starting to believe in the moral rights of women. The audience are able to tell that the female character is growing in confidence and is debating her viewpoint more with her partner. In contrast 'Tosca', like the previous clip, sees his role within the household as the supplier. He claims that he pays the bills and brings in financial support to his family.
He comes a across as more violent and tense.
Who is struggling with the shift in hegemony?
From the clip it is clear 'Tosca' appears to be the character who is struggling to come to terms with the shift in hegemony. He is reluctant to believe that his partner is growing in power. As their relationship worsen he is threatened by leaving the house which takes the wrong way.
