In the beginning of the movie, Wikus displayed very poor behaviour towards Christopher. Christopher was different from the humans, so Wikus treated him horribly. For example, in the movie Wikus threatened Christopher by saying that he was going to take his child away if he didn’t evacuate his house immediately.

It starts out with relatives and children accusing loved ones that they’re not really themselves, that they have no emotions. We later discover that they are, in fact, pod people who are taking over the minds of the innocent people in this small town of Mira. Soon Miles is the only human left and frantically tries to escape to warn others. The Invasion of the Body Snatchers reflects the paranoia of the Cold War world because the film shows the mistrust families and friends held to one another and the film was an anti-communist piece of propaganda because the pod people, the enemies, wanted everyone to conform to be exactly like one another with no emotion, love, or pain.

Annabella’s claim to be a part of ‘a wretched, woeful woman’s tragedy’ offers no solace to the other women in the play as she bought her punishment on herself. To what extent does the play as a whole appear to criticise or endorse the misogynistic attitudes shown by so many of the characters? T’is Pity she’s a Whore is undoubtedly a play that can be characterised by the sexism present in it, particularly in terms of the negativity associated with female sexuality. Ford presents misogyny through women and love, women and sex and the male advancement, but what is unclear is whether or not he endorses such an attitude or criticises it. This is best encapsulated in the debate as to whether Annabella can claim to be part of a “wretched, woeful woman’s tragedy” if her mistreatment was indeed her own fault.
