In this paper I will discuss the burried mixer and sexual connotations in Freaks. First, I will give a brief summary of the story and familiarize the reader with the chief(prenominal) characters. Second, I will analyse the sexual intrigue among Cleopatra, a trapezist, and Hans who is a midget. Third, I will discuss nearly ambigual effects of the social inter-relation between the freaks and the normal-beautiful race in the movie.
We take in from the title of the movie that Freaks is most probably a moot story and we have this feeling reinforced in the opening of the movie. The movie starts with a classical Whats In The cuff enigma, and there is an orator talking ab forbidden an unusual haul: We told you we had living, breathing monstrosities. You laughed at them, yet but for the accident of birth, you king be even as they are! They did not claim to be brought into the world, but into the world they came. (Freaks) We dont tell apart what to expect, but we already know that it is going to be something strange, subnormal and even shamefull. The action takes place in a carnival but we never see the actors performing on the circus scene.
Instead, we are introduced to a whole gallery of strange mess shown in different circumstances and only few people who meet the normal human strandarts like Phroso the clown, Hercules the Strong Man, genus Venus the seal trainer, and Cleopatra the trapezist. The plot is situated around a silly love story between a midget named Hans who is a freak because he doesnt meet the classical sizing/beauty criteria and Cleopatra known as the Peacock of the Air (Freaks). Cleopatra flirts with Hans who is already engaged to Frieda, a woman of his size, and necessitys to marry him as she finds out that Hans is a very weathy person. She plans oto ger rid of Hans after the wedding under-estimating the great power of the freaks and ends up as monstrous as the freaks.
