Lulu, Ellie or Lily

Abstract

The topic of this Master thesis is an analysis of the female positioning in societies throughout the years. Derived by the theatrical play ‘Lulu’ that is consisted by The Earth Spirit and Pandora’s Box and written by the German playwright Frank Wedekind (1864-1918). Matters as the depiction of femininity and its subtle connection with the politics around female clothing, in a more modern concept, enriched my research on the topic and extended it to contemporary aspects of social favoritism, marginalization and how porn industry uses female body. I hereby try to point out that discrimination is not based on personal factors but it could be aiming anyone not complying with the norm that society and fashion industry dictated.
