Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Passau, course: Staging the Crisis - Global Climate Change and the Contemporary Eco-Theater, language: English, abstract: In this essay, I will evaluate whether or not this perception of the characterized man is based on widely held misperception or actually corresponding with the empirical description of the ordinary affluent British stereotype. I will compare this development as a result of social envy, to the depiction of Gordon and Serena in Tanya Ronders ecocritical drama 'F*ck the Polar Bears'.
