I have chosen to analyze the character of Carrie Bradshaw who is portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker in the ever so popular television show Sex and The City. The show evolved around four friendly women living in New York and followed their lives as they tackle modern current issues.
Sex and the City had, and continues to have, a massive impact on our social culture. Millions of woman around the world were tuning in each week to see the trials and tribulations these woman faced in each episode. Carrie Bradshaw was the main character and through her story lines we saw her dealing with failed friendships, blossoming relationships, promiscuous date nights and of course her trend setting fashion statements. Even though the story line varied week to week, each show had a very similar plot, the male suitor and the romantic lives of these woman is what fascinated the world to watch them as they gossiped around a swanky Manhattan lounge while sipping on a cosmo.
This show, in a way, made many woman more comfortable with their own private lives and while the conventional values of a woman’s sexual life have in the past been traditionally kept to themselves, these four woman were dating multiple men ( sometimes at the same time)and sharing their stories with all of the shows viewers. Carrie and her friends were bold, strong, open minded and spoke their minds. It made most women second guess their partners and set on a journey to find their own “Mr. Big”.
These characters lived life on their own terms and Carrie continues to encourage women around the world to stick up for themselves, never settle and always value your closet girl friends.
OK.
