Anna

When we see Anna, she is framed in a way that suggest someone is watching her, this obscured view gives the audience a voyeuristic experience and suggest that this is how they want to see women, Anna is shown in this way to appeal to male members of the audience.

The male Gaze theory is present in this scene as every shot of Anna is of a different part of her body, shown in a close up. Although she is presented in a sexual way it is only for the male audience members and not because she is a sexual being in her own right, this is shown by Fletcher's absuption that something is wrong with her when he walks into the room, this shows that he does not view her as able to have pleasure without a man present.

Anna is also only ever shown in segments, and never as a full person. She is depicted as an erotic object for the audience and during the scene her pleasure is dictated by carter. This scene shows that female liberation has not been a success by this time as women are still being controlled by men and are still able to be depicted as only existing for men without backlash from audience, this was how men in the seventies expected to see women depicted. By positioning women in this way, the audience is being encouraged to view them as carter does and how many men during the seventies still did.
