HOC- Open ended narratives
More than one stories going on. 4-5 stories going on. Whereas, a linear narrative only explores 1 story.
Frank
Underwood and Claire represent the anti-hero their characters are complex.
Intertextual links between the HOC and Shakespeare`s plays- Macbeth
Use of anti- hero
Claire and Francis are similar Macbeth and Lady Macbeth- anti hero, in terms of having the female trying to be dominant rather than the male which therefore shows that Claire breaks the patriarchal oppression of women, which therefore goes against the theory of Van Zoonen and bell hooks, that women are oppressed and under the dominance of men- HOC shows the opposite.
Claire desires power, control and progress in her career over money which is similar to Lady Macbeth and her attitudes.
Claire and Francis seem mainly concerned about themselves therefore demonstrating the idea of individualism.
