Last thoughts
For my last few pages in my book, I started to look at what type of clothing actually represented a stereotype. For example, for a nerdy character they will typically be wearing a turtle-necked jumper, big geeky glasses and socks up to their knees. I think this is a big characteristic for stereotypes as you need an object or something in particular to identify the stereotype with. I think these identifications still go on today with certain characters. It is also important in the relationship between characters and stereotypes as this a common well known identity and people can easily pick out what personality the characters are going to have with certain icons like this.
