Sometimes, with portrayals of domestic violence, the women involved are just victims with no personality, just completely trodden-down. But people continue to live their normal lives: they go out; they continue to have arguments with their partners, even if there is always the fear of where that might end up.

There is a perception within our community and the world that black people don't love each other. That we don't fight for each other. That perception is so dangerous. We need positive images to counter the negative portrayals we see every day. And positive doesn't mean perfect. Perfect is boring.

Portrayal often depends on perspective; different authors or directors can present the same subject in unique ways.

Context Matters

A portrayal may be influenced by the creator's personal views or the intended message, not just facts.

Subjectivity

Understand the cultural background as portrayals can carry different meanings in different cultures.

Cultural Perception

A successful portrayal in acting often requires an actor to deeply understand and embody the character.

Acting Skill

An actor's unique portrayal can bring new dimensions to a well-known character.

Creativity

Great portrayals often result from an actor's connection with the character's traits or experiences.

Character Connection

 Since the character does not need to be drawn over and over again, it can be animated by moving each element individually. Aside from their portrayal in a few great modern zombie flicks, these concocted carcasses are generally known for limited, stiff movements. Their traditional stride is perfect for puppet-style animation.
