The male gaze

Identification with the male lead.
- His actions become a surrogate for our own part in the narrative. We psychologically align ourselves with his point of view. He is the ideal ego.

Objectification of the male's lead's romantic interest.
- The male lead desires the female form. As we are aligned with his point of view, the audience desire the female lead also.
