Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Würzburg (Neuphilologisches Institut), language: English, abstract: This paper will try to illustrate the basic concepts of negative femininity and positive masculinity in film noir created by the male gaze.
