This still shows
Stephen dead as a zombie. Just by looking at Stephen, he seems to contradict
the stereotype of being the male victim as he fits into the category of male
hero better due to the colour of his hair, his relationship with Francine and
his good health. But after watching the film, there are a few different times
when Stephen is shown to be the weakest character. For example when the gang
stop to get fuel for the helicopter, Stephen tries to shoot an attacking zombie
with a rifle but misses a few times. This is where Roger has to push him out of
the way with his rifle and shoot the zombie himself. Both of the rifles are
shown to be phallic symbols and Roger’s phallic symbol is a lot stronger than
Stephen’s showing him to be the weaker character.
