2.  In social psychology, a stereotype is any thought widely
adopted about specific types of individuals or certain
ways of behaving intended to represent the entire
group of those individuals or behaviors as a whole.
 Funny stereotypes become jokes while serious ones
become proverbs.
 Stereotype is not concerned with truth or lie, it can be
a general perception of people.

3.  There are gender stereotypes in our society which are
typically indicate a man dominant and woman
recessive.
 Women are bad drivers
 Women are not as smart as a man.
 Men are the “backbones”.
 Guys are messy and unclean.

4.  The above statement is the topic of discussion. There
are a number of stereotypes which are related to
gender.
 For this analysis I have selected “Fever”.
 In this movie there are some stereotypes which are
purely related with gender

6. An assassin loses his memory in an accident. He wakes
up knowing only his name, and a subconscious memory
of a crime he has committed. To regain his memory he
meets different characters which makes him more
suspicious about himself . The reality of every character
is not that is reflected throughout the movie. This is the
SUSPENCE in this movie. Every character is revealed
with the resolution of plot.

8.  Armin plays a contract
killer with a penchant for
scarves and costumes.
He is a bit Bond-
like…smooth with the
ladies, quick with the
gun. He is a hired hand,
a contract killer, an
assassin.

9.  As Karan, he is a writer
who is writing a novel
keeping every character
from real life. Lost in his
work; wants to prove
himself as a great
novelist.

10.  Kavya’s role remains
hazy, but we do
eventually find out why
she’s lurking around
Armin. Possessive, bold,
and strong lady with
strong mind.
 As Pooja she is Karan’s
wife.

11.  A girl, protagonist (main
character) in Karan's
novel.

13.  Best friend of Karan; very
close to him becomes the

wife Pooja.

15. NARRATION (voice):
In this movie there is first person narration because
narrator is ‘overt’ as well as the narrator is at the level of
auto diegetic (narrator is protagonist).
FOCOLIZATION (mood):
Eternal focalization can be seen in this film because the
story tells the narrative not the character.

16.  STORY(the level of presentation);
At the level of presentation, the film is shaped by a
combination of visual and acoustic elements.
There is a conflict in the narrator’s presence in film
Jahn(2003) says that in film narrator is present but
Bordwell and Brangian reject the idea that there is
narrator as such in the medium of film at all.
As far as the perspective of narrator in “fever” is, in the
film the protagonist Armin is the narrator in the film.
Sometime he talks in I narrative and in others, in we
narratives (in his flashbacks)

17.  ACTION (plot)
The plot of the film is Vertical because the actions
first diverge and then converge at the level of resolution.
 TENSE;
Both present and past tenses are used in the fil but the
focus is on past tense more the present.
 TIME;
Time is stretched because the mental process of the
narrator slow down the pace of action (due to the lost
memory of hero)

18.  NARRATIVE MODE OF PRESENTATION;
Both telling mode and reflecting mode can be seen
in this film because the main character not only tells his
story to other characters within the film and for audience
mode of presentation is reflecting or showing.

20.  Men can easily fall pray
in woman’s delicacy and
bluffs.
 Men, the baggers of
physicality
 Only need bodily
satisfaction which
provides them mental
rest as well.

21.  Men plays all games with
minds.
 Men can easily overcome
their situation.
 Men are emotionless and
realistic.
 Men are more still/
determined for there
aims
 Men are self-centered.

22.  “Women are only to be
loved not understood.”
 Women, a source of
physical satisfaction for
man only
 Women can not win
from men in mind
games.

23.  Women are emotional.
 Women are jealous of
others.
 Women trust soon.
 Women can not share
their man with anyone
else.
 Women devote
everything to whom they
love.

24.  Whatever true or untrue but the fact is that both male
and female have their own personalities, roles in life,
importance, responsibilities, and values which can not
be underestimated at all.
