Laura Mulvey-Visual Pleasure

This article analyzes how classical Hollywood cinema constructs visual pleasure through objectifying the female figure on screen. The female is positioned as the passive, to-be-looked-at object of the male gaze, fulfilling erotic male fantasies. This dynamic reinforces patriarchal social norms by pleasuring the spectator in their scopophilic activity of gazing at an eroticized female image.
