Order Paper NowBrainstorming for Topic #1: What makes Furiosa a heroic character? List 5-10 adjectives to describe her, then pick the 2 or 3 that you think will reveal the most about our changing cultural attitudes toward women. Focus on those particular traits when writing your essay.
Topic #2
Pick ONE female character in the film, and categorize her within the archetype of a goddess of life, death, or regeneration. How does this character and her archetype reflect modern cultural attitudes?
Some more specific suggestions for Topic #2:
#Furiosa (in some ways, the most obvious choice, but you should focus on ONLY ONE particular category. Is she a goddess of death? Life? Regeneration? What puts her in this category, and what is the significance of her placement in that archetype?)
# One of Immortan Joe’s wives (What is this film saying about fertility? About female sexuality? About patriarchal attitudes toward fertility and female sexuality?)
# One of the Vuvalini (Keeper of the Seeds, the lookout pretending to be in trouble—a lot of interesting possibilities here, especially related to environmental issues and female empowerment)
