She manages to maintain her cool even when Vincent questioned her about
her involvement in a murder. Her actions seem to contradict the research that
Tannin found about the communication styles for women. Instead of being the
“shady girl,” she portrays a male’s communication style. Her strong will is a
characteristic that anyone would love to posses. Even though Mia may have only
played a small role, what she instilled in us was much greater. It seems that
Pulp Fiction compliments and contradicts Debra Tannin’s research on
communication skills and techniques. Marcellus and his controlling, confidant
communication style agrees with the statement that a more firm communication can
get you farther. On the other hand, the lack of self-confidence, as displayed by
the gangsters would disagree with the observations made by Tannen.
She is also
contradicted in her statements when the character Mia is observed. Despite the
expected quiet nature of females, Mia, instead, remains bold and unsurprised by
society. By not conforming to such typical standards, Mia proves that women can
and do possess an influence, equivalent to that of the opposite, supposedly more
powerful sex.
