The Triplets and an Analysis of the Reception of Their Female Media Characters

Abstract

The art of storytelling continues to captivate children and adults because of its magic journey into the world of imagination and dreams. This research paper focuses on the reception of the Triplets, three illustrated female child characters who become media characters. It also studies the gender impact it has on 170 eight-year-olds through the feminine models they embody. This study follows previous research by Prats & Ambròs (2008). Final conclusions show that the roles and gender The Triplets exhibit are not received by the 170 children in a uniform way. Besides, the intertextualities1 of each sister with other male and female characters in the literary and media world confirm that relations are established mostly in the media field and not so much in the literary field. Apart from this, direct correlations are established between the sex of the interviewee/informant and the sex of the character chosen.
