How Laura Mulvey Relates To My Study

I am going to show both sides of this arguement, because it can be argued that Ugly Betty does follow Mulveys idea's and it also can be said it doesn't. It can be said that this programme challenges Mulveys theory as in this case a women is the protogonist, and she isn't stereotypically portrayed she is shown as unattractive with no sense of dress. It doesn't reflect the idea of patriarchy and challenges it to some extent.
