If ever there were a time when I was more convinced that Buffy was a strong-willed, butt kicking female, now is the time. The article starts off pinning Buffy as the “princess,” i.e. the girl that needs to be waited on hand and foot. However, this article puts into perspective that she is that princess who is willing to fight for her county. “Instead of being the princess imprisoned in the tower, Buffy literally breaks into the tower” (Wilcox 149). Instead of running away from the problem, Buffy runs straight into it and makes its head explode. Later in the article, the author states that in “Hush,” “the fact that women are a source of humor and the Gentlemen a source of fear may reflect their relative power in this world” (Wilcox 159). This statement is either horribly wrong or simply excludes Buffy. Buffy is not only what every person doesn’t expect her to be, she is what every person WANTS to be. Everyone wants to be able to hold their own and not crack under pressure and Buffy is a symbol of what people strive to become.

She is very courages,instead of running away she always stands up to defend!
ReplyDeleteBuffy really does symbolize what people strive to become. The way she handles herself, rises above peer pressure,holds tightly to her beliefs, and protects those in need are truly admirable traits that most people in the world today strive to bring out in themselves.
