This research paper is going to focus on how female characters are been represented in the movies and stories. Once there was a time when females were shown as very weak both physically and mentally, helpless and hopeless, less confident, serving only at home, and not allowed to go outside. But the situation is changed and its representation is improving by showing them as heroes of the nation, role model to follow, confident enough to bring peace and prosperity, fight in the war, helpful, and respectable person in the society as a hero or goddess. On the other hand if it is thought twice, then it is not improved at all because through the heroism of female characters they are also been portrayed as an objectification to the people. This paper is also going to relate this idea of representation of female from the readings of Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain and Mahashwati Devi that how women/female were treated then and after that.
