The Avengers Prep

In the first five minutes of the Avengers we get to discover how the two main characters are presented and what their personalities are like. Emma Peel is presented as being very bubbly, confident and outgoing which, back in the 1960’s wasn’t a very common way for women to behave. Most women back then would have stayed at home caring for the family while the men go off to work and make the money but that is certainly not the case for Emma. She was also very powerful as there weren’t really any other women like her.

John Steed is presented as almost following Emma’s lead but then also taking control in his own way, how he books train tickets without telling her where they are going. He is dressed however, in the typical outfit men wore in the 1960’s. A suit, hat and umbrella. Although he might have had a different view on women back then because of how he respects Emma and doesn’t think she should stay at home letting the men be the heroes.

Audiences may have enjoyed watching this for many reasons. One of which, is that it gives the women hope and inspires them to be just like Emma Peel. Not necessarily being a hero but it makes them feel like there is more to life than what they are doing. Another reason people may have enjoyed watching the Avengers is that it was something different to what they were used to. It would take them away from their everyday life and stress and bring them into this world where anything was possible.
