Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on City women are problematic, transgressive, or even threatening presences. Discuss the representation of the women of the city in Sunrise (1927). It needs to be at least 2500 words. This essay will discuss the depiction of city women in the context of the silent film, Sunrise (1927), through the analysis of various literary works on film and women representation.

The film is set in a 1920’s lakeside town when a city woman (Mary Livingstone), goes for vacation. During the night, the city woman lingers to a farmhouse occupied by a man, George O’brien and his wife, Janet Gaynor. The Man leaves his wife after he hears the woman from the city whistling. His wife is left alone with memories of their once deep love relationship.

The man and the woman from the city are in a love affair under the moon. The woman wants the man to sell his farm and follow her back to the society. She also suggests that the man drowns his wife. However, the man violently refuses. However, the woman convinces the man. The unsuspecting wife is taken for a boat ride where she is to be drowned. She later becomes suspicious about the trip while they are in the lake. The man is unable to drown his wife. He goes back to the shore, where the wife flees to the shore. The wife then flees and the man tries to follow her. The wife from the farm then goes to the city where she is overwhelmed with the city life and her husband is close behind her. The man then gives the woman flowers and other gifts and she is then convinced to stop crying. They reconcile and while in the city, they see a bride who get married in a church. The man asks for forgiveness, after which they go back to the farmhouse.

A twist in the plot of the film is when the woman and the man travel back to their home. a storm causes their boat to sink. The man saves the wife but he wakes up convinced that his wife has drowned. He asks the town people to help search for her body. They do not succeed and when he gets back to their house, the woman of the city reappears thinking that the plan had succeeded. The man turns violent on the woman from the city.
