TRUE meaning
I couldn't figure out the blog last Sunday so I know this post is really late. Hope I share some insight or opinions! This is Sookie Stackhouse off of the HBO hit series, True Blood. I am a recent fanatic of the show. I watched an episode with my roommate and neighbor and I was hooked. While watching the show, it hit me how much an appearance of an object or in this case a person persuades and shapes the way we think about it. By the way the producers dress Sookie and have her act, they "argue" that Sookie is meant to be innocent and to a point clueless. Sookie's favorite color to wear is white, and as many of us know white is the color of innocence. Sookie often bears the look of a confused little girl although in the show she is lowish twenties. In True Blood, Sookie falls in love with a vampire, creating havoc within her friend circle as they fear for her life. Sookie is the suppose to be the good little "church girl" that lives with her grandma but her relationship with the vampire causes a sudden stop to all of this. Sookie becomes the classic naughty-nice. Her clothing and hair styles change drastically, fitting perfectly drastically her new character.In order to really look at this situation you must read into her actions and her body movements. She may play scared but her body pulls in the attacker. The producers make here even more innocent when playing with her hair. When something in the show that is serious and takes a lot of thought Sookie will have her hair in a bun adding years and sophistication to her character. When Sookie is ecstatic about her first relationship with Bill she comes off as a schoolgirls gossiping about a crush to her friends. The creators and the actress playing Sookie have great discipline in order to achieve this depth of… what is the word I’m looking for… conviction maybe. They take ordinary objects like clothing, hairstyle, colors, and body movements and turn them into symbols and signs that we may or may not pick up. Sookie is classic inter-textual innocent. You could pick her out within the Merlotte’s (the bar in the show) any day based on the things I have pointed out. She is not the first one to be representing this way, innocents in white and pouty faces are routine in the business.
