Recently I watched a movie called The Devil Wears Prada. This movie actually embodies many things: the cruelty of the workplace, the choices of life and so on. And today about this movie, I want to discuss the role of Miranda. Miranda is the queen of the workplace and is very successful in her career. But she treats others harshly and pursues the ultimate in everything. In order to succeed in her career, she had to give up her family. In order to keep her position, she betrayed her colleagues who had followed her for many years. In the eyes of others, she is a cruel and very bad woman. But everything she does is for career success. In this society, it is difficult to be recognized as a woman. There was a conversation when the hostess and Christian were eating in Paris. Christian said “She is a notorious sadist, and not in a good way.” The hostess said: “Ok, she is tough, but if Miranda were a man, no one would notice anything about her, except how great she is at her job.”
Miranda has high accomplishments at work, and for these accomplishments she chose to give up her other things. She never regretted her choice at this time. But society is often harsh on women. When Miranda ‘s second husband filed for divorce, she said to the hostess: Another divorce…splashed across page six, I can just imagine what they are gonna write about me. The dragon Lady, career-obsessed, Snow Queen drives away another Mr. Priestly. It can be seen from this that the society does not approve of Miranda ‘s contribution to her career. They even mocked her obsession with career. If you are a man, focusing on your career is your advantage, but if you are a woman, most of the people in society will think you are an outlier.
