Stereotyping Characters..

The two characters that i have chosen to write about is Liz and Jason from Corrination Street.

Liz fits the stereotype of the typical older bar maid. She has blond hair, big boobs, dresses like she is 20, very flirty and full on, and like men alot! But in spite of these, she is also a good listener and a valuable friend. I don't think she has another stereotyping personality, although some of her attributes may fit in with several other stereotypes singely.

Jason is your typical builder stereotype. He is young, fit, into his women (very much so) and has a cheeky but kind personality, and wouldn't intentionally hurt anybody. With his personality traits, he also fits the stereotype of a typical single young lad with nothing tying him down, as he is often seen in the pub, talking about women and other typical lad-about-the-town things.
