Ava Lord is the sly and manipulative ex-lover of Dwight, who seduces him and lies, tricking him into him murdering her husband by claiming he was being abusive. Once Dwight has done this, she shoots him in the face and laughs in hysterics, after she's described how her ex lover murdered her husband out of jealousy on the phone to the police. Dwight comes back at a later date, and murders her despite her trying to lie again to escape her fate.
Ava Lord is a cold, violent, manipulative woman, who uses her sexuality to lure men into doing her bidding. She is intelligent, and knows what to do to get what she wants. She makes a fantastic femme fatale and though she is yet to appear in a movie, her appearance in Sin City: a Dame to Kill For I'm sure will make the film different, as we will see a female villain.
I think Ava is a strong character and though I could find inspiration in her, I feel she pulls of the role she is designed for perfectly herself, so it would be tough to beat. Though I like the challenge of trying, if my character was to fit in Sin City, does there need to be two of the same archetype in there?I feel after looking at her, I like the idea of a female character, though rather than being sly and secretive in personality I'd rather see it displayed physically, yet being confident, strong and empowering, with still keeping in that sexist Sin City world.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was looking for a good description of this character and some short but precise analysis. Thank you for writing one.
One question I wanted to ask is that, how do you think a man should treat this kind of narcissistic and manipulative woman? Would you know any examples from other comics or movies, where the is counter man, who deals with femme fatale, like Ava Lord, and not fall under her charms. I'm not speaking about the guy from the movie SIn City 2, who killed her but rather a man who handles her and uses her weapon against her. Seduces and makes her obey.
I would be really pleased if you give me some directions.
With respect,
Vlad.
