Pretty in Pink – Summary
You must Login to view the entire paper.
Pretty in Pink is essentially a love story about a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, the rich high school hunk who has his eye on her, and the peer pressure that threatens their budding romance. Molly Ringwald plays the character of Andie Walsh, an unpopular poor girl living in the shabbier side of town. Andrew McCarthy portrays the role of Blane McDonnagh, a wealthy heartthrob who asks her out to the prom. As their romance evolves, both characters struggle with increasing pressure from their peers whom are unsupportive of the relationship mostly because of the difference in social class. This, however, doesn’t necessarily hold true for two of the characters whose objections appear to derive from other motives. Blane’s friend Steff (James Spader) is more outraged with the fact Andie has repeatedly turned down his amorous attempts, than with her lack of money. While Andie’s best friend “Duckie” (Jon Cryer) is so in love with her that a Prince with a Harvard degree who dedicates his life to charitable work would not have made the cut. Although the main characters are both initially cautious if not almost secretive about their relationship, Andie steps up to the plate and the pressure, even ending her friendship with Duckie for the sake of love. However, Blane, who receives the majority of the flak because he is the one with the “most at stake”, caves in to the stress of it all and breaks off their prom date. Despite his strong feelings for her, the prom is an announcement to his friends, peers, and the entire school that this is his girl; a “nobody” and he just can’t bring himself to do it. When Andie and Duckie enter the prom hand in hand, both Blane and Steff immediately take notice. Steff embarks in one last desperate attempt to mock Andie, but Blane has had enough of him already! Brushing him off, he walks up to Andie and declares his love for her and all is right with the world again.
