Film Analysis (Juno)

The name Juno came from the Roman goddess of women, marriage and childbirth. Juno or Hera in Greek was pressuring the other wives of Zeus when they were about to give birth to their babies. Other Characters were Paulie Bleeker the father of Juno’s baby in the film who did not stand on his own two feet to stop Juno from letting the baby be adopted. Juno’s father Mac was a cool father he didn’t even show that his mad about knowing that his daughter was pregnant, he even helped his daughter Juno to close the deal with the Lorings on adopting Juno’s baby. The setting of the story fits the film because the typical setting. A very noisy school, it’s like setting that you could be easily influenced by other people to do bad things. The plot starts with Juno being pregnant then, she tells her family that she’s pregnant as the rising action and then the climax was when she was deciding whether to abort the baby or keep it but in the end she decided that the baby will be adopted by the Lorings after that Mark Loring decided to have a divorce with Vanessa but after that Vanessa still adopted the baby and Juno and Paulie realized that they were meant for each other. The Conflict was when Juno got pregnant and was deciding whether to keep the baby or not. The theme was kind of a pro-life one because in today’s society many consider abortion as a result for an unwanted pregnancy. Juno’s archetype is a terrible mother for me because she gave her baby although she gave it to a mother that can care better than her but still she could have keep it and seek help to Paulie and to her parents. The seasons could have represented Juno’s trimester as a pregnant women.
