Peggy Carter – Captain America,
Performance
Despite her gender and the stereotypes attached to it in accordance to her job, She is very strong willed.This is displayed by the respect she is given and how effective her workforce is. For example, she doesn't hesitate to use violence against a male. This shows she's a dominate character and a anti-stereotype.
Her makeup is very minimum and ‘natural’ looking, apart from the red lipstick and strong brow. She demonstrates the typical 1920’s-30’s wartime woman through this look, due to the fashion at that time – when makeup started to develop. This goes against the stereotypical look for a woman in a thriller, as they are normally wearing less powerful looking makeup, but more of it. The red lipstick is used a lot in many thrillers, to portray power of the woman. This is a convention that we will use.
