"Unlearning the Myths that Bind Us"

Linda Christensen

 Popeye

 

1. The moral of the story is that the man will always save the woman and save the day and also that vegetables will give him the strength to do so.
2. The main protagonist is Popeye and he is a white American man.
3. One of the servants was Olive Oil after she was captured. She is a white American woman. When they were being served their food the servant was a man who was a person of color. When Popeye defeated the bad guy, he made them act as servants and they were all men of color.
4. The buffoon was the white American man that was accompanying them on the trip.
5. This does not pass the Bechdel test.
6.  This conveys that women need a man to save them from every situation, similar to other Popeye episodes.
7. The message of race and ethnicity that was conveyed was that only if you were a fit, white, American man, could you save the day.
