Mulvey's Male Gaze Theory

After reading the article please consider the following questions: (use Dr Foster and August: Osage County)
  1.  ‘who is looking at whom?’ Do we, as a spectator, see women through the male gaze?
  2. Are women’s bodies are often represented as fragmented, through the use of close-ups, giving women ‘the quality of [an] icon’ rather than an active agent in three-dimensional space?
  3. Is the editing from a male gaze?
  4. Are, men are active, ‘forwarding the story, making things happen’ in contrast to women’s passivity?
