Grey's Anatomy's 16th episode
Love, pride and ego are the themes that I picked out from this episode.
Cristina is so relieved that she gets to talk to Owen about "the whole buying the hospital plan". I can see love in her eyes when she talks to him. She wants to protect him and rescue him from the stressful life he has been living for the past few months. She is attentive and caring. She is IN LOVE!
At the very end of the episode, when Avery's mum tells him she got him the "hospital," he has that "No way!" look on his face! He does not seem hapy, may be because he thinks his mum is being to protective and treats him as a BABY. She does not realize he is a man. His masculinity is being looked down on. That depicted men's pride and ego. Often, men do not like it when women show they are richer, or more powerful than they are. It hurts their ego and pride. Even though she is her mum, Avery does not seem to be okay with that.
What are your thoughts on men's pride? Don't you think that pride is another way of reinforcing masculinity hegemony? or Dominance on women?
