Representation of disability.

Glee

 


'Kitty' is shown as a typical popular girl in an American high school. She had blonde hair and wears a short cheerleading dress. 'Artie' is portrayed as the stereotypical geek, he has a wheelchair, wears glasses and old fashioned clothes.
Artie is represented as a victim of his disability as it has made him insecure and unable to stand up for himself. 'Tina' stands above him when confronting his situation showing that he has less power.
The camera tracks Artie smoothly like the wheelchair itself, confirming the status of the wheelchair and therefore reinforcing his disability.
While he speaks to Kitty the camera only shows the back of his head again showing he is less important.
