character representations

Bridget Jones represents another love struck heroin, who suffers from the same insecurities that all women suffer from, although they seem to define who she is and what she does. Bridget Jones is just an amalgam of her anxieties, of everyone's anxieties. The ditzy blonde, clumsy and who fails in love. Obsessing over missed oppertunities, and fixating on wight, food, alcohol, cigarettes, work, parents, friends and lovers. Any women of a certain age can recognise elements of Bridget in herself. Every diary entry a record of her weight, maybe something which is even more common in society today.
