Recommended: Critical analysis on the development of the character of Jane in Jane Eyre

What makes a successful TV show are the elements the writer uses to appeal to the viewers, which can be the scheduling, characters, setting, and dynamism. One great example of a TV show that uses all its elements to create a dramatic comedy storyline is “Jane the Virgin” by Jennie Snyder Urman. Jane the virgin is an American Telenovela about a girl named Jane who was artificially inseminated, hence she is a pregnant virgin. Jane the Virgin is a dynamic show, usually within one episode there is more than one conflict, either it is a career struggle, break up, or murder. The story starts when Jane is stuck in a love triangle and can't decide which guy she wants. Even while Jane is going through a tough decision, she is also pregnant with one of the guy’s baby. This show is so different compared to other shows with how each season something new happens. Unlike other television shows, sometimes I can predict what will happen at the end of the season, or viewers often get bored with the same thing always happening each season; for instance “Awkward” is hit a show on MTV almost similar to Jane the Virgin, but I can always predict what will happen next, the writer creates the same conflict season with the main character Jenna who is still in love …show more content…

As an example, there will be a lesson Jane learns when she is younger, that will relate to her situation now. Jane grows up watching telenovelas that teach her lifelong lessons, like when she is stuck in a love triangle she always looks back to those moments she learned from each telenovela. These flashback scenes play an important role in Jane the virgin, without them most of the plot wouldn’t matter and there would be missing elements. Many other TV shows do not have foreshadowing scenes or anything that appeals to the audience in a way Jane the virgin

  • What Are The Intersectionality Aspects In Jane The Virgin

    The film that I decided to watch for this assignment was the show Jane the Virgin. The film is about a working and religious young Latina virgin, who becomes pregnant after being unintentionally artificially impregnated. The program humorously mocks commonly used figures and plans in Latin telenovelas. The show has never shied away from getting into political topics, which is why it is one of the most advanced shows on TV right now. The intersectionality aspect in Jane the Virgin is how the show gives us a lesson about abortion, teen pregnancy, and the institutional racism that Latino people face.

  • The Brady Bunch

    The word sitcom is short for Situation Comedy. A good sitcom story idea places the star (or supporting character) into a situation in need of a resolution, which will cause the character to respond in unexpected, exaggerated, and hugely sidesplitting ways (Rannow, pg. 13). A comedy now days are different from how they were in the 1960's and 1970's though. Today directors use sexual content and foul language to make people laugh and do not usually have a purpose or point to get across to the audience with each show. In earlier comedy, such as The Brady Bunch, Director Jack Arnold tried have a lesson learned in each episode while still maintaining a sense of humor, minus the foul language and sexual content. Although the show is not extremely funny to most people it is still a classic show that deserves to be remembered.

  • Modern Day Females: The Mary Tyler Moore Show

    1870 Words  | 4 Pages

    In American culture today, women continue the struggle of identifying what their roles in society are supposed to be. Our culture has been sending mixed messages to the modern day female, creating a sense of uneasiness to an already confusing and stressful world. Although women today are encouraged more than ever to be independent, educated, and successful, they are often times shamed for having done just that. Career driven females are frequently at risk of being labeled as bossy, unfeminine, or selfish for competing in many career paths that were once dominated by men. A popular medium in our culture such as television continues to have significant influences as to how people should aspire to live their lives. Viewers develop connections with relatable characters and to relationship dynamics displayed within their favorite shows. Fictional characters and relationships can ultimately influence a viewer’s fashion sense, social and political opinion, and attitude towards gender norms. Since the days of Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie, where women were commonly portrayed as being the endearing mischievous housewife, television shows have evolved in order to reflect real life women who were becoming increasingly more independent, educated, and career oriented throughout the subsequent decades. New genres of television are introduced, such as the workplace comedy, where women are not only career oriented, but eventually transition into positions of power.

  • Jane Eyre Essay

    1428 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the beginning of the book we learn that all of Jane’s direct family was dead. Now all she had was an aunt, Mrs, Reed, and an Uncle that we do not know much about. Jane lives with Mrs, Reed and her children. Jane is not well liked by them and constantly seems to be getting into trouble. One time Jane was reading a book and was found by John. John went to punish her, but Jane went to fight back, but John immediately responded, “...mama says; you have no money; your father left you none; you ought to beg…”(11) This shows how the whole Reed family feels about Jane. She is showed off as poor and not able to do or become anything of worth. This may be the most important quotes in the entire book. This sets Jane in her “rightful” place in the family. Jane then feels like she does not belong, and feels this way for most of the book, leading up to an unforeseen twist in character in many different people.

  • Sitcoms Gender Roles

    1351 Words  | 3 Pages

    For a large part of the history of TV sitcoms women have been portrayed as mothers or as having to fulfill the woman's role in the private sphere. Family based sitcoms were one of the forms of sitcom that keep women in these roles, but what is interesting is that even in other forms of sitcoms women do not truly escape these roles. Sitcoms, like Sex and the City and Murphy Brown showcase women whom have seemingly escaped these roles, by showing liberated women, but that does not mean that both do not fall into the gender role showcased in family sitcoms. It draws the similarities between ensemble sitcoms and family sitcoms when it comes down to the role of women. The starring women in both Sex and the City and Murphy Brown, and even the Mary

    Have you ever looked through a magazine and found it to be really interesting? That is because you are part of its target audience. You are part of a group of people that the magazine is trying to appeal to. There is a reason Sports Illustrated is more of a man’s magazine and Family Circle is more of a woman’s magazine.

In Sports Illustrated, the reader would find sports, and that is it. The reader would not find an article titled “How working women balance their careers and home lives.” An article such as that would be found in a magazine like Family Circle, as it is targeted more towards women who have a family.
