Soap Opera Stereotype


This clip starts off with man looking around 40-50 seeking a job in the bar. Then an older man comes in saying "I'm guessing they'll be here shortly". Shortly after a lady walks in who I presume a young man is interested in. He starts flirting with her. Then another young brown haired man walks in and says "did he blow her out" and the barman mentions that he is flirting. The young brown haired man is surprised and then a tall muscular man walks in and starts making personal and discriminatory comments about the ladies looks. Everyone is shocked and they start to make sarky remarks towards him he orders the drink the 1st young man storms out and the scene ends. 

The stereotypes shown in this scene that I think are portrayed are at first the jobless older man. The nosey old person. The young lady who everyone is attracted to. The disrespectful but physically attractive man. All the while the stereotype that middle class people all go to the pub. And its also a stereotype that the whole village know each other.
