Hermione Granger is a good example of the Know-it-all stereotypes.A Know-it-all is a person who strongly believes thay are right about everything and has a solution or plain for everything. Know-it-alls are commonly found in work offices and classrooms.
The characteristics that are commonly found in Know-it-alls can include constant talking, wont listen to the opinions of others, costanty show off their 'superior' knowlage and a controlling attitude towards those around them.
Hermione displays this stereotype in the "Harry Potter" books and films, she does not feel any shame in always putting her hand up to answer questions or prove Harry and Ron wrong. Hermione is the firts to notice important facts in a situation, and loves to display her higher knowlage compared to her friends.
The stereotype of the Know-it-all in women is pro-feminst as it shows that women can have the stronger knowlage than men and shows that women can be in charge and hold their own in any situation.
Hermione is a good example of this stereotype of the Know-it-all as she displays these qualities but in a good hearted light.

Hi Mae. Where is your second entry? This one was on the 11th March. I'm expecting three by the 26th March.
ReplyDeleteWith the representation of Hermoine, what is the effect of the media representation? How does this representation affect teenage girls, and/or how does this representation affect society’s perception of and/or attitude to teenage girls?
Is this a realistic portrayal? What are the reasons for the difference between the representation of teenage girls and reality?
