Male representations
-James Bond is represented as masculine, he is represented as violent and represented as a woman user as he has often been represented as in the previous films.
-Silva is represented as both masculine and feminine at times, we see this as he strokes James Bond's leg showing him engaging in sexual activity, we also see his masculinity side as he violently bursts into the court room open firing.
-Q is represented as feminine he is scared of flights, doesn't engage in fighting and stays in his comfort zone, he is well dressed and takes care of himself suggesting he could potentially be gay. He is the complete opposite of James Bond.
Female representations
-Moneypenny is represented as both masculine and feminine we see her masculinity at the start of the film where she is running and gunning however we also see her feminine side later on in the film as she is dolled up and wearing a dress in the casino scene showing both sides to her. We also see her feminine side when she is shaving James Bond showing she is gentle and caring.
-M is represented as masculine as she isn't gentle or caring we see her violent side at the end of the film where she is shooting a gun and creating bombs to protect the house. We also see her confidence and lack of emotion when James Bond turns up unexpected at her house.
-Bernice is portrayed as vulnerable
