28 Days Later Representation of Women

First half of 28 Days Later.

In the first half of '28 Days Later', Selina, the main woman in this horror, is portrayed as a cold-hearted independent women, doing whatever necessary in order to survive - even killing her eventual boyfriend in a heartbeat. Selina has control in the first half, dictating order. She is covered up with short hair, showing a possession of male characteristics.
However, in the second half of the movie, as feelings develop for Jim, we see Selina transition into more of a woman. In this part, traditional stereotypes for women are enforced, seeing Selina saved by Jim multiple times. We also see her cry for the first time, showing how she has become a stereotypical woman.
