KILLING EVE EPISODE WATCH

Metoo movement in 2017, American context, high school shooting anti gun laws

Donald Trump in 2017 becomes president

Main Narrative: Mysterious assassin has killed again in Vienna. Eve tries her hardest to find and get information from the victim. Villanelle kills again in Tuscany and we are presented with a very skilled killer - setting up a foil between the two characters.

 Eventually, Eve locates the witness by using not very legal tactics ( recording the interview and using it to translate!) and attempts to speak to her, but before she can kasha? Is killed in the hospital. Eve is then fired from her job due to the risk of leaving Dom 

Character Profiles:

Eve - determined, smart, powerful, high up , fearless and is good spirited
Villanelle - Feminine but harmful, antagonistic with her mind games (pills)
Konstantin - Boss of Villanelle - surprised and shocked when she plays dead
Dom - eager to help Eve and tries to be the voice of reason and cares about Kasha
Niko- Very polite and nice - caring and helps and supports Eve
Bill- Jokes ad has fun, unserious and sticks by Eve throughout, even telling her she was right about the 
Villanelles victim 
Frank - boss way more serious than Bill, deceptive predatory, negative representation


Gender:

Eve is presented as natural and powerful in the opening scenes of killing Eve - powerful by walking in late and not being ashamed, making bets with Bill
She is interested in assassins and makes bets - she isn't womanised or sexualised in the office.
Respected as an MI5 agent - investigating Kasha and allowed into the hospital as an investigator

Villanelle - shopping bags stereotype, big flowing dresses and bright colours associated with woman ad femininity.
-Controls Konstantin - he is shocked and almost scared of her with the pill scene.
- She is powerful and violent - hair pin stabbing, hospital scene

Carolyn - powerful woman is the MI5 industry. Powerful, authority and serious. Respected with Frank - not seen as lower than him - equal in power

Niko - nice, caring,  anti-stereotypical and works a lot. Cares for Eve and brings a nurturing caring side. Roles reversal - Eve could be taking more masculine traits and being the dominant partner in the relationship. ( screaming, diegetic dialogue at the end with Carolyn)

Frank - Stereotypical rough man, shouting and aggressive. Loud and blunt with his tone and not bothering to hear Eve's or Bills opinions. Close Minded



Eve -British culture - seen as the hero
Demonisation of Russia! Can be seen with the Villanelle side of how her accent and region is made to be from Russia and how the stereotypical view is that they are the bad guys
 Villanelle
Konstantin
MI5
Levi Strauss - Binary oppositions theory of opposites with British Values an
