The portrayal of gender in crime narratives is intertwined with power dynamics from "summary" of Gender and Criminality in Bangla Crime Narratives by Shampa Roy

Gender portrayal in crime narratives cannot be discussed without considering the power dynamics that shape these representations. The way male and female characters are depicted in Bangla crime narratives reflects the societal power structures that influence their actions and motivations. In these narratives, men are often portrayed as dominant figures who hold positions of power and authority. They are seen as the masterminds behind criminal activities, using their influence to control and manipulate others. On the other hand, women are often depicted as victims or accomplices, their actions driven by external forces rather than their own agency. This portrayal of gender is intertwined with power dynamics, as it reinforces traditional gender roles and stereotypes. Men are shown as strong, rational, and in control, while women are portrayed as weak, emotional, and easily influenced. These representations not only reflect existing power imbalances in society but also serve to perpetuate them. Furthermore, the interactions between male and female characters in these narratives are often marked by power struggles and conflicts. Men are shown exerting their dominance over women, using violence and coercion to maintain control. Women, in turn, may resist or comply with these power dynamics, depending on their own agency and circumstances.
  1. The portrayal of gender in crime narratives serves to highlight the complex interplay between gender and power. By examining these representations, we can gain insight into the ways in which societal norms and expectations shape our understanding of crime and criminality.
