COMPARE THE TEXTS

What are the similarities between the two films? Include characters, plot, costume, setting and themes?
Clueless and The Breakfast club are similar in a lot of ways. Both of the plots contain love, new friendship, and trust. The characters are also similar as well, like Claire and Cher were both the pretty girls. Tai, in a way, is also like Allision. Both very weird and keep to themselves a bit. Murray, Dionne's boyfriend, is a Jock, like Andrew. The settings both include a high school, and the themes are also similar.

What are the differences between the two films? Include characters, plot, costume, setting and themes?
There aren't the 'typical obvious' stereotypes in Clueless that are in The Breakfast Club. Looking at the characters in The Breakfast Club, you can tell what stereotype they belong to. But in Clueless, you have to get to know the characters a bit more before you can determine where they belong. There are more different settings in Clueless than there are in The Breakfast Club, and obviously the plot has to be different.

  1. Do you think if The Breakfast Club was made in the 90's it would be more like Clueless?

  2. Yes I think so, because the music and fashion would be more similar.
