It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a dead wife must be in want of a festive miracle, apparently.
I guess my question is… why, though? Why this endless fascination with Christmas sweater-wearing single dads? Why don’t we have, on the flipside, an army of lovelorn men upending their lives to forge a romance with a single mum?
As Dr Miriam Kent, a lecturer on film and media studies at the University of East Anglia who specialises in gender and identity representations in superhero stories, explained to: “While the woman plays an integral part in the narrative, in terms of characterisation, the focus is on the trauma of the man, not what the woman has experienced.
Personally, though, I think there’s more going on here than just that. Because I reckon the algorithm has determined that women find single dads to be pleasingly non-threatening love interests., we have very real evidence that another woman pre-vetted our male love interest and decided his genetic material was worth passing on. Which means that he was, at least once, capable of a meaningful relationship.
I guess what I’m saying is this: festive romcoms offer up love interests who make us feel every bit as safe and comfortable as a flannel shirt, a plaid blanket and a cup of steaming hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day.
