Gender Boundaries in Pleasantville and 1984

Gender boundaries ar established in 1984 finished informal repression, which is shown through costume. The restrictions addressd on the company members in 1984 include every troupe member (both male and female) have to live ugly overalls. This plays its part in wispy gender roles. This boundary is tough in a number of ways. First of which is when Winston has wake up with the prole prostitute, another is when Winston and Julia use Mr Claringtons shop as a place for having sex, (this is broken even more as it is in the prole district).It is also broken when Julia puts on win-up which is seen as a luxury. Pleasantville explores gender boundaries be established through single beds, no colour, no sex, and wishing of knowledge. Make up also plays an historic role in breaking boundaries in Pleasantville as it did in 1984, when Betty puts on make up to cover the fact that she has false into a coloured person.Bud and Mary-Sue are agents for change in Pleasantville ad bud educate d Mr Johnson and the rest of the Pleasantville population by filling in the books, putting away the fire, showing them colour. Mary-sue educated betty by training her what sex is. Repeated scenes in Pleasantville understand that there is no change in their world, such as George walking kin every afternoon, putting his briefcase down, and saying honey, Im home. This is broken when he gets no reply from his wife, as Betty is tabu with Mr Johnson.
