Quadphenia 1979- how chracters represented?

How are the Characters represented?
Jimmy
* He wanted to be part of a gang, identity was very important for him
* wanted to be different, but in realitly he was just the same as any other MOD, he thought he was being alternative but really he was just doing the same things.
* Took the concept of being a mod too seriously, wanted to get out of his dead end job & his life
*Identity compromised when his friend beaten up ( as his freind is a rocker) he doesnt want other mods to find out and be disliked by his group.
*Sterotyped scences at home dad, and work. Being rebellious like teens are sterotyped to be.
*
Got to be part gang havent you got mind own
when really jimmy was just following the crowd the same
* `There is a divide between Youth & adults
* Divide between middle class & working class- Jimmy being stuck toilets at work
* reinforces representation of youth & Binary oppisites in film

Steph
* Sexual Freedom-pill was introudced in the 1960's, so she could be more premiscious
* shes more femine compared to other Mods andrognous
* no loyalty

Ideologies
* sub culture ideology
* Living for here & now
* Dominant Ideology--> being in a gang
* Them & us mods vs rockers,binary oppisities e.g. todays society Goths VS Chavs

Key idea
Mob mentality
Racism--> igronance
Finding your idenity
when they are in brighton they do not care about actions or the law
