<p>The aim with this essay is to penetrate the opinions of how women should be represented on screen. I am using a selection of contributions from the gender debate that Lars von Trier´s movie <em>Antichrist</em> caused in Sweden in spring 2009. The focus of the debate was mainly about the way the female actress was displayed. The provocative thing considered by many was that the female part could be interpreted as evil and in connection with Antichrist. But is that a obvious negative way to present women? In a historical view the discussion have been constantly fluctuated when it comes to the ideas of the correct way to visualize women in the movies which have left us without a true answer to that question.</p><p>I am interested in investigating what is considered today as the best way to represent women by Swedish debaters.</p><p>By using Michel Foucault’s term discourse as theory in a text analyse I am trying to look trough their language and see their ideological position.</p>
