How Is Dr Tuttle Portrayed In The Accused

446 Words2 Pages

The most influential scene of the movie was when Bill assaulted Dr.Tuttle on the ridge, you can feel the anxiety rising as he begins to attack her yet she fights back turning the screen on its head. Dr.tuttle goes from victim to murder mystery suspect while keeping the audience on her side. The least influential scene is when Dr.Tuttle is in the hospital, she apparently spends days there but nothing really changes after she leaves. It was simply an excuse to have some days pass. The Accused is typical with its content of rape, by not showing the reality of the majority of the time of how the victum is powerless to fight of the assult of the perpetrator. The Accused shows an optimistic take of the victim not only surviving but turning the tables …show more content…

I was also surprised that Dr.Tuttle down right killed Bill instead of just fighting him off or getting away. I had not thought much about how a victim might act after fighting off an assaliant, I never considered the psychological trauma that might be incureded even when successfully fighting off an assailant. The Accused sheds a new light on how a victum might act after such a traumatic experience with Dr.Tuttle unnecessarily hiding and sabotaging the invenstigation despite her only acting in self defense. I believe that within the context of The Accused rape is treated fairly legally. Dr.Tuttle although not explicitly said likely didnt get in any trouble after the events that took place. She wont be charged with murder despite killing someone because it was self defense from rape. In The Accused Dr.Tuttle hardly acts like a victum and much more like a perpetrator. Despite being the victum in the movie she acts and behaves like the bad guy. I don't think the movie is wrong for this interpretation but it dose fail show any greeted insight on the true plights of victims of rape. Dr.Tuttle is only outed as the victum after the boxing

Whether it's the uncomfortably close camera shots or the faint whisper of breathing, she says what we all should be saying. Sexual assault of any kind is never right. Whether it's rape or a cat call walking down the street, the ability to make someone uncomfortable and unsafe in their own skin is unacceptable.

This is mainly because during this whole incident, Coker had just escaped from prison while serving multiple sentences and capital offenses, including murder, which, according to the Supreme Court, validates a death sentence. Furthermore, the state of Georgia’s laws mentions that rape can be punishable by death if it also occurred with or during a capital felony. Both instances were present because of Coker’s previous capital convictions, and the fact that the rape happened during an armed robbery since Coker stole the Carver’s car and threatened them with a knife. One could argue that what was really “grossly disproportionate” was the Justices’ decision and lack of common sense in this particular case. As stated by Justice Rehnquist, rape is not a minor or unimportant crime that can be overlooked, as it leaves vicitms with serious trauma and difficulties.

“Society 's posture on rape, and the manifestation of that posture in the courts, help account for the fact that so few rapes are reported” (Anonymous 247). This quote from The Rape of Mr. Smith relates to this scene because Brandon went through a terrible thing, that no person should have to go through, and he was interrogated about it and shown no compassion. “The law discriminates against rape victims in a manner which would not be tolerated by victims of any other crime” (Anonymous 246).

When talking about Bill Cosby and him allegedly raping over 50 women, it is going to take time to get to the bottom of this trial. I feel as though if the women had been rape they should have said something back when it first happened. This has been untried and unpunished fro fifty years; why would anyone take the time out to try and put him in jail all these years later? I feel as though some of those women are lying because if the rape was that serious, they would have spoken up when it first happened. If I were to get raped, I would go to the police right after it happened and I would put the man that did it away fast so he wouldn't hurt anyone else again.

Even to this day, the story of Tamar’s rape is not addressed in congregations as some religious leaders refuse to acknowledge the importance of equality for both women and homosexuals. One point I’d like to discuss is the fact that author Pamela White brings up the issue of praising the perpetrator instead of condemning him for his actions. She states that, “The perpetrator, Amnon, begins to look like the protagonist of a classical Greek tragedy, a basically good, even superior person like Othello, noble by birth, who by one tragic flaw-his “love” for his sister, which blinds his reason and self-restraint? His gullibility and susceptibility to persuasion? -Is brought to ruin.
