In this post I will be explaining the Sex Role Traits of Veronica Lodge one
of the Main Character in the teen Drama Riverdale using the Items of the
Bem Sex Role Inventory.
Veronica Lodge is one of the main character in the show Riverdale.
Throughout her time on the 4 seasons we have seen her develop from new
mysterious girl to the hot girl who owns her own business and with a dad
who is a mob boss who is taking over Riverdale. For all she has been put
through with her father and the tragedies that strike Riverdale she has
some very strong traits that I’m excited to uncover.
Feminine
Eager to soothe hurt feelings- Throughout the four seasons we see
Veronica apologize for her actions and mean girl behavior. She almost
always apologies with a Cupcake usually flown in from Magnolias in
NewYork. She apologizes a lot for the actions of her father and the wrong
doings that he does.
Understanding- She is always putting herself in others shoes because she
has been through a lot so far in her short life. She is very understanding of
Betty’s daddy issues because of the issues she has from her own father. She
also is understanding of all the crazy and insane things that Archie does
and a regular basis.
Feminine- Veronica is always dressed in a skirt or a dress, her hair is
always done, she wears a pair of high-heels everyday and makeup always
done. She is the face of feminine, she is skinny, well put together and
carries herself with a sort of pride that is very attractive to most people
which symbolizes femininity.
Masculine
Self-reliant- Veronica is very self reliant, she owns Pops Chocolate shop
(the local burger joint) and the speakeasy located underneath that she
reopens as the La Bonne Nuit. She saves this money to give back to the
community and be a self-reliant high schooler.
Ambitious- Veronica from the beginning wants to be involved in the family
business, she wants to have her own part in the company. She does
whatever it takes to get what she wants, whether that is going about it the
right way or finding out the information on her own accord. She has big
dreams of going to Barnard College and is going to be a successful women
in the mob industry.
Assertive- Throughout the four seasons we see Veronica take on gang
bangers, and her fathers rival mob leaders. She does not take crap from
anyone, even the most dangerous people. She is aggressive in her business
life and her personal life she gets what she wants when she wants it.
In conclusion I believe Veronica learns more towards the Masculine side of
the Bem Sex role Inventory, because of her work ethic and well known
presence in the mob and business community. Although she does dress
feminine in her peals and skirts she is a boss no matter what she does.
