In this post I will be explaining the Sex Role Traits of Reggie Mantle  one of the Main Character in the teen Drama Riverdale using the Items of the Bem Sex Role Inventory.

 

Reggie Mantle is one of the main character in the show Riverdale. Throughout his time on the 4 seasons we have seen him develop as the the drug dealing football player to a member of Archies Red Circle and a copo for Hirum Lodge. Reggie is also physically and mentally aboused by his father throughout the show. For all he has been put through with her father and the tragedies that strike Riverdale he has some very strong traits that I’m excited to uncover.

 

Feminine

Childlike- Throughout the series he is seen doing childlike things that could get him in trouble. He sells drugs, he lets his dad treat him like he’s a child, and he is making his choice to engage in the risky behaviors of drugs sex, and money.

 

Cheerful- Reggie is seen throughout the series as always being loud and present. He like the attention of his friends and especially from females. For a short time in season 3 we see Reggie develop a relationship with Veronica and stays very cheerful and supportive of her and her business.

 

Gullible- Reggie is always trying ti make a quick buck or be in the drama. He gets involved with the red circle because his friends were, he runs for student body president because his friends are, and he is apart of the girls point book because guess what his friends were involved.

 

 

Masculine

Leadership Ability- Reggie is the captain of the football team for a while and he also was the leader of the Red Circle when Archie decided to step down.

 

Dominant-Reggie is a dominate male who is always trying to be the big bad guy who is doing what is right but could also be doing something that is very illegal.

 

Assertive- We see him in season 4 go after someone who is threatening their tickle business and I think that they will win but Reggie makes it very clear they are not to be messed with.

 

In Conclusion 

Reggie leans more towards the masculine aspect of the Bem Sex role inventory of the he is masculine and even though he acts young and naive he still does these risky things to protect himself, friends and family.
