Representation - Female Fatale

Explain how the Femme Fatale is represented in film noir
Discuss the femme fatale in reaction to male gaze
Discuss the representation of the femme fatale is problematic or outdated

Female Fatale are interesting portrayal of women because it was new to film, previously women where housewife and home makers  but in films now they are portrayed as independent women.

In Film Noir the Femme Fatale they trick the detective and makes them fall in love with them as they use there sexual attractiveness to manipulate men to gain power, and money. Her transgression of social norms leads her to her own destruction and to the detective that  falls in love with her. She builds up this powerful and independent film throughout the film only to be punished for it in the end

Female Natale are very misleading women as they are spinning a web of lie
