write an article on desperately seeking Susan: comparison of the representation Paper must be at least 3500 words. Please, no plagiarized work! The “Material Girl” – and the lifestyle she embodied – was both envied and idolized, and it is safe to say that the biggest attraction of the film was Madonna herself.

Desperately Seeking Susan is a story about mistaken identity that plays off the contrasting lifestyles of its two central characters: Roberta (Rosanna Arquette), a bored middle-class suburban housewife, and Susan (Madonna), an adventurous free-spirited wild child with no visible means of support who seemingly lives on the goodwill of friends and acquaintances.

Roberta becomes aware of Susan through a series of personal advertisements in the newspaper. Each ad, placed by Susan’s boyfriend Jim as a means of contacting her, begins with the mysterious tagline “Desperately Seeking Susan”. Roberta, who feels trapped and restless in her marriage to unsupportive, inattentive husband Gary, is entranced by the seeming glamour and mystery of Susan’s lifestyle. She becomes increasingly preoccupied by Susan to the extent that, after reading a new personal ad, she decides to go to the designated meeting place. Roberta finds Susan and follows her into a clothing store, and watches as Susan exchanges her jacket for a pair of shoes.

Impulsively, Roberta buys the jacket once Susan has left the store. She finds a key that Susan has left in the jacket, and discovers that it opens a locker where Susan has stored all her personal belongings. Roberta tries to contact Susan by placing her own “Desperately Seeking Susan” personal ad. Meanwhile, Susan is wanted by the police for questioning in relation to her previous boyfriend. She is also being pursued by Nolan.
