Madonna-Whore Complex	comment	A pattern of thought that divides female humanity into two mutually exclusive categories: Madonnas and Whores. The respectable and honorable Madonna figure, possessing and protecting social virtue (and deploring sexuality) is an object of worship and everything that all women should aspire to be. However, sex is not part of this; any woman who fails to live up to the Madonna standard is a disgusting and contemptible Whore driven exclusively by sexual desire and (therefore) lacking in morality and humanity. An active sex life makes one a Whore... unless one is married, and sometimes even then. The Madonna-Whore Complex (AKA "Virginâ€“Whore Complex") was described by Sigmund Freud on the basis of some of his clinical work. Specifically, he noticed the difficulty some men had in having sexual relations with their wives because they differentiated women into these categories. Those men were aroused by prostitutes and mistresses but not their wives because, paradoxically, they respected the latter too much (they viewed them as fellow humans; i.e., not whores) to be sexually attracted to them. Occasionally this is enforced by The Scourge of God. A direct Sub-Trope of Sex Is Evil and closely related to Downfall by Sex. Compare and contrast The Three Faces of Eve, as it creates a False Dichotomy between the Seductress and the other archetypes, either represents the Child archetype as "pure and innocent" while ignores the Wife archetype (the one who is sexually active and morally good/"pure"), or makes the Wife archetype as the one who is well-aware of her "Madonna" role and will never corrupt it, while depicts the Child as too oblivious to realize her immodesty and "inappropriate" actions which increase her risk of being corrupted. That said, many Madonnas are wives, though they are more often mothers or sisters, or other women with close emotional ties to whoever considers them a Madonna. This mindset may result in Evil Desires Innocence. Also compare Slut-Shaming, Sour Prudes, Light Feminine and Dark Feminine, Betty and Veronica, My Girl Is Not a Slut, Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains, Sexual Karma. Sometimes may be seen as a sign of Black-and-White Insanity. Closely related to Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe, Heir Club for Men, and Altar Diplomacy, as demonizing female promiscuity is one way of ensuring political marriages only produce legitimate heirs. Contrast Ethical Slut, Good Bad Girl, Heroic Seductress, Hooker with a Heart of Gold, Innocent Fanservice Girl, My Girl Is a Slut, Lovable Sex Maniac (If female), Sex Is Good, You Need to Get Laid, Nature Abhors a Virgin, and Virgin-Shaming. Also contrast Double Standard Rape: Female on Male and Double Standard: Rape, Female on Female if the whores aren't taken seriously in the unfortunate way. Not to be confused with Madonna Archetype. Not to be confused with someone thinking that the singer Madonna acts like a whore... though that would probably be an example of this. The Madonna: The Madonna is always an Embodiment of Virtue, always chaste, benevolent and often passive. She sometimes is corrupted—often sexually, and often by the Whore, directly or indirectly. Often the Protectorate or the Morality Chain of a Darker and Edgier male character, sometimes of a whole community, whose mission is to protect her purity and innocence. If she remains "untarnished" to the very end, she gets the Happy Ending she earned by choosing virtue and chastity over sex.

Pretty much every time Rorschach describes a female character, they're either an untouched innocent (Kitty Genovese or Blaire Roche) or a whore beneath contempt (both Silk Spectres, his landlady). It's not hard to imagine his own issues with sex and gender aren't factors as well.

Specifically, when the child is born, the power passes out of the mother and into the child, basically guaranteeing that the child will awaken powers of her own later on, and that those powers will be stronger than normal. The "whore" side doesn't come up as much, though; if a magical girl gets pregnant, the government just shuffles her out of the public eye and covers up any connection between the child and their mother's identity.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_1b2c8040	comment	In Corpies, Bubble Bubble's public image is that of a demure, wholesome girl, who always wears tasteful, conservative dresses, when she's not engaged in rescue work. Then a sex scandal breaks out, with her in the middle. It turns out that, several years prior, she slept with the director of the movie she was in. Unbeknownst to her, he was dating a well-known movie star at the time. When the truth finally came out, the director quickly tries to cover his own ass by blaming Bubble Bubble, claiming that she used her powers to influence him. Despite Bubble Bubble's powers being well-documented and a matter of public record, the Muggle public is quick to dive back into the typical "who knows what these Supers are capable of" mindset. With her "Madonna" image ruined, she breaks down. Owen then asks his agent Lenny to take Bubble Bubble on as a client in order to fix her image. Lenny agrees and gives Bubble Bubble two options: she can go the easy route, accept public shame, and slowly work to "redeem" herself in the eyes of the people; or, she can own being a sexually-independent woman and publicly attack this trope, which is the more difficult, riskier path. Bubble Bubble goes with the second option, goes on a talk show, and turns the tables on the host, who is utterly unprepared for her not feeling ashamed. She explains that all she did was have consensual sex with a man, who was lying to her, which doesn't make her a bad person. She starts wearing less conservative (but not too revealing) outfits and overall seems happier with no longer having to maintain such a chaste image. It also helps that Owen makes the director a thinly-veiled threat along the lines of Shame If Something Happened.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_2379c677	comment	The series initially contrasts the bookish and conservative Kerry with the outgoing and promiscuous Bridget. Kerry would often be given more steady boyfriends while Bridget would have a different guy every week (sometimes when she was with a boyfriend too). The show keeps subverting it though and Kerry lampshades it in one episode where she remarks that their father expects her to be "some old spinster like Miss Havisham" and tries to act like a Whore to annoy him. The show really turned the trope on its head when it's revealed Bridget is still a virgin and Kerry loses hers by cheating on her boyfriend.

Looking through history, face women wrestlers are usually actually in the middle—somewhat sexualized but still implied to be women of valor and virtue—whereas women played to either extreme have made for great heels in the past. Velvet Sky is a great defiance of this trope in her own right. As a heel, she was definitely a Whore. However, as a face she was still Ms. Fanservice and had no problem showing off her body—she just happened to be presented as heroic as well.

The character of Fantine largely represents the Madonna-esque purity and innocence, however, due to the consequences of being an unwed mother following a summer fling, is relegated (quite literally) to the role of the Whore; in the closest thing 19th century French Literature had to snark, Hugo makes sure to mention that the man she slept with suffered no ill effects of this, and managed to be a rich and successful lawyer, highlighting the double-standard. In addition, the novel makes note that she is both denigrated as Whore and the subject of incredulity as Madonna, leaving her at odds with society as both Madonna and Whore.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_3953baf0	comment	Deconstructed in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, as the film shows how unrealistic it is to look at a woman from either standard. Frollo considers Esmeralda as a Whore because she performs suggestive dances. He lusts after her but is sure he can't have her because she is a Whore (plus he's bigoted against Romani) so he decides to burn her if she refuses him. Meanwhile, Quasimodo is well-intentioned but only sees Esmeralda as a pure Madonna, heavily idealizing her since she saved him from humiliation and possible deathâ€”which does not mix well with the fact that Quasi has an extremely naÃ¯ve view of human relationships due to him living all of his life locked away from the world. Phoebus is attracted to both Esmeralda's kind heart and her alluring nature, so she chooses him because he's the only one that sees her as a proper human being with both flaws and pros instead of just one thing or another.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_543bfacd	comment	Dracula is frequently cited as an example, with Lucy Westenra as the Whore, having three lovers and becoming a seductive vampire before getting her just punishment in death, and Mina Harker neÃ© Murray as the Madonna, a kind and submissive housewife, surviving through the end. This was an addition made by adaptations, however, and the original novel is by-and-large a subversion. Lucy in the novel is a textbook Madonna, kind and innocent, with nary a flaw to be had. Yet she is killed anyway, both by being Too Good for This Sinful Earth and as a symbol of the fading aristocracy. Mina Murray, while not exactly a Whore, is far more liberated and proactive, frequently brings up a skillset one wouldn't typically expect of a housewife, and is ultimately vital to the defeat of Dracula. Not to mention that, while Lucy is definitely a virgin by the time of her death, Mina (being a married woman, attacked by Dracula while asleep in bed with her husband) is almost explicitly not.

Adachi sees any woman that rejects his advances (even Saki Konishi, a minor) as a "bitch" who's rotten to the core, and even justifies killing Mayumi Yamano with the fact that Taro Namatame had an affair with her, therefore she had to be a gold-digger trying to swindle him. It's implied that this attitude stems from jealousy at the thought that someone else is getting with the women that he feels entitled to.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_5e3f9611	comment	In The Handmaid's Tale, Gilead makes this dicotomy a state policy. Women are expected to be either daughters and wives (which are the most respectable position in society) or Handmaids (forced to be breeding slaves) and Jezebels (forcibly turned into pleasure slaves), both of which are reserved for "unruly", "fallen" or "rebel" women. Curiously there are classes such as the Aunts (drill sergeant nasties for Handmaids) and Marthas (domestic workers) that fit neither classification. (This may be because, particularly in the novel, the Aunts and Marthas were usually women who were unmarried, and too old to bear children (and thus too old to either get married or become Handmaids or Jezebels.)

Protagonist Jerin is very careful about staying husband material, and when someone tells him that oral sex (something he was advised to do with his wives as part of The Talk) is something that whores do, he is very embarrassed about having something in common with whores. (Male prostitutes exist, too, but are mainly for making babies, so they don't do oral). He is also worried about being a Technical Virgin, as a man who is not pure, and could have STD, won't find wives, may be sold to the "cribs"—brothels where women go to get pregnant.

Kerry would often be given more steady boyfriends while Bridget would have a different guy every week (sometimes when she was with a boyfriend too). The show keeps subverting it though and Kerry lampshades it in one episode where she remarks that their father expects her to be "some old spinster like Miss Havisham" and tries to act like a Whore to annoy him. The show really turned the trope on its head when it's revealed Bridget is still a virgin and Kerry loses hers by cheating on her boyfriend.

When the woodcutter gives his account (which is implied to be the most accurate), the woman is portrayed as being much more complex than this. At first, being sad and begging for her husband to avenge her for the bandit's rape, only for him to disavow her for being a spoiled woman. She then becomes angry, instigating them both into a Duel to the Death after questioning their manhood. Not surprising, given the time and place the film is set in.

The first time, Jesus chats with an unnamed Samaritan woman at her town's well, and does not treat her with contempt for having been married five times and living with a boyfriend as a "kept woman," even though everyone else does, to the point where she comes to the well at high noon instead of at dawn or dusk when the other townswomen do. The second time, a woman who was caught in the act of adultery is being brought out to be executed by stoningnote Her lover is not mentioned as being about to be executed, even though he was caught, too, and even though the laws laid out in the Book of Exodus said that both the man and the woman were to be executed. The townsmen ask Jesus what should be done with her, and He calls on the sinless among them to throw the first stone... leading them to spare her life. He then tells her that he doesn't condemn her, and to go and live her life and never cheat again.

We see him assault another girl and be much gentler, indeed almost reverent; the other girl is a professional ballerina, and thus he sees her as more "pure", though it doesn't stop him assaulting her. The cult God's Will First are known for murdering, among other "undesirables", unwed mothers and sex workers (ironically enough, regarding the trope name, they don't like Catholics either). Dulcinea and Kitty Softpaws both grew up in Francoist Spain, which was very restrictive for women. Dulcinea was seen as a good girl and her parents loved her very much, but they married her off at fourteen to a man who seemed kind but sent all six of her children away because they made her too busy to pay attention to him. Kitty, meanwhile, was caught masturbating at age twelve, and her father broke her hands, disowned her, and sent her off to what was effectively a Juvenile Hell for imperfect daughters. None of this is exaggerated from the real Francoist regime.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_8022008b	comment	Red River (1995): Zigzagged. The Big Bad, Queen Nakia, is The Vamp and a Vain Sorceress, but she isn't defined by sexuality; she married her husband out of political obligation and has no love for him, she gave birth to Prince Juda only for revenge (she wanted her bloodline to rule the land she was forced to live in), and the only man she seems to have any actual affection for is a eunuch who was castrated before he met her, therefore they cannot have a sexual relationship. Yuri is young, sweet, idealistic, and hesitant about having sex with Kail. However, she doesn't hesitate to get involved with political or dangerous matters, often going into war zones to fight, is quite a Guile Hero, tells her female friends to live for love if they want to, and eventually has a very sexual and passionate relationship with Kail, which is considered normal. In fact, her friends and servants considered it very strange that she waited as long as she did to sleep with him. Subverted with Princess Guzel. She is sweet and gets along with Yuri, but was introduced both as an unwed mother and a former lover of Kail (and later turned out to have gotten pregnant through an affair with another man). No one is bothered by her sexual history, and her father is only angry because she seemed to be lying about who the father of her child was. It turns out the whole thing is a plot orchestrated by Nakia, who brainwashes her into lying about her child's parentage. When Kail releases Guzel from the brainwashing, she freely tells that her child's father was actually a Wandering Minstrel. Not to mention, she sees the fact that Yuri managed to get Kail to sleep and stay with her as admirable, as it shows that Kail sees her as more than a lover.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_967347ea	comment	Revolutionary Girl Utena: Gender Inverted with the male cast, as an analysis essay called "Akio and the Fangirls that Hate Him" shows. The young Miki and Tsuwabuki are virginal, naive, and sweet. Meanwhile, the older Akio, Touga, and Ruka provide Fanservice during their Shirtless Scenes, and they happen to be Domestic Abusers who use their sex appeal to manipulate women. In regards to Fairy Tale Motifs, the series calls attention to how the world (and men) categorizes women into two categories: princesses and witches. Princesses are the Madonnas that are valued for their beauty, gentle nature, chastity and dependence on others. Witches are the undesirable Whores due to their independent nature, their drive to obtain love/sexual gratification and using their own talents to get by in life. Many of the female characters in RGU are categorized in these groups or switch over as the series progresses. Miki loves Anthy, whom he sees as entirely virginal and passive because he sees her as basically the foil of his promiscuous sister, Kozue, whom he is sexually attracted to. The theme appears to be that Miki sees Anthy and Kozue as two sides of one woman, and by extension seeing neither as a full person in her own right.

However, Katherine Tekakwitha's virginity and purity is her most defining feature, while Edith is defined solely by her sexual experiences and sexualized descriptions of her body. The narrator can't seem to decide whether he wants a Madonna or a whore; he talks about wanting to fuck a saint and seems in love with Katherine Tekakwitha, but also thinks of Edith as innocent even though she clearly isn't.

At first, Mariema exists between the two worlds, appearing outwardly obedient while secretly hanging out with the girls and seeing Souleiman. After the fire, Mariema becomes increasingly discontented with obeying her family, and as word of her contact with Souleiman becomes public, Omar's family suspects her virtue and demand a virginity test. Ultimately Mariema abandons her family and the life of the virginal girls by moving in with Dior, and losing her virginity.

The "bad girl" Hecate, who tries to seduce Hades, is incredibly amoral and trying to control him so she can have command of the Underworld. Persephone, on the other hand, is shown as being pure, naive, and the virginal spring goddess. It's subverted when Persephone's Hidden Depths are revealed: she's naive because her mother has kept her over-protected for her entire life, which she hates. While she's got a good heart, she also can be pretty fierce. And as she points out, spring is the time when animals mate, meaning she's a virginal goddess who's very sexually frustrated. She and Hades end up having a very passionate, physical relationship. It's further subverted with Hades's first wife, who was a tree nymph who was sweet, loving, and too innocent to fake her feelings, but like Persephone, enjoyed a very passionate relationship with Hades.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_a5549ed0	comment	The Bible plays with, zig-zags, and subverts this trope a lot more than you'd think: In the Book of Genesis, where Tamar disguises herself as a shrine prostitute to sleep with her former father-in-law and becomes pregnant by him. At first, Judah sentences her to be burned to death for engaging in illicit sex... but she sends a messenger with the cord and seal that she had taken as "collateral," saying that the man who owns them is the father. Judah recognizes the MacGuffins as his, and spares Tamar's life. He even says that she is more righteous than he is, because she had done her duty (perpetuating the lineage of her deceased husband) and Judah had not (he married his youngest son Shelah off to someone else, even though Shelah was supposed to marry Tamar to provide for her and father children on his dead brother's behalf.) From then on, Tamar lives in Judah's household, raises the twins born from their sexual act and he provides for her and the kids as he would an actual wife (although they didn't have sex again.) Averted with Rahab, a prostitutenote Although some believe she was just an innkeeper or the wife of one, the mainstream view is that she was actually a High-Class Call Girl from the Book of Joshua. She is shown to be a kind person and even hides the Israelite spies. Not only does she end up later having a family of her own, but she becomes part of the lineage of the Messiah. Played straight in the Book of Proverbs, where the students are warned about "strange" women, and where these women are contrasted against a personification of Wisdom, and against the Wife of Noble Character. There's nowhere in any of The Four Gospels who says "Mary Magdalene was a prostitute", neither is she positively identified with the Woman With The Alabaster Jar (who seems is described as a "sinful woman", what sin she commits is unclear), but in any case, it's common practice to make her a Composite Character with the Woman With The Alabaster Jar to counterbalance, you know, The Madonna. Even then, this composite Mary Magdalene plays with the dynamic by being a Whore who becomes a Madonna. Subverted in the The Four Gospels on at least two occasions. The first time, Jesus chats with an unnamed Samaritan woman at her town's well, and does not treat her with contempt for having been married five times and living with a boyfriend as a "kept woman," even though everyone else does, to the point where she comes to the well at high noon instead of at dawn or dusk when the other townswomen do. The second time, a woman who was caught in the act of adultery is being brought out to be executed by stoningnote Her lover is not mentioned as being about to be executed, even though he was caught, too, and even though the laws laid out in the Book of Exodus said that both the man and the woman were to be executed. The townsmen ask Jesus what should be done with her, and He calls on the sinless among them to throw the first stone... leading them to spare her life. He then tells her that he doesn't condemn her, and to go and live her life and never cheat again. Played straight in the Book of Revelation. The Whore of Babylon (a personification of a culture of corruption, idolatry, and immorality) is contrasted to the pure Bride of Christ (the Church). Sure these are symbols and not real people, but it still counts.

It subtly deconstructs this trope, as the prince loves the White Swan's purity, but doesn't seem to have any problem with it when she seduces him (though it's actually an imposter). It further emphasizes the deconstruction by having the same dancer play both parts, implying a real woman has both the Black and White Swan.

In the Chick's eyes, Todd is the every way perfect man who'll fix her, and she's driving herself crazy in order to attain him. Critic, on the other hand, is the comfortable flirt who jacks off butter and sings about how everyone should be slutty but is just too fucked up for her to think a proper relationship with him could work. In the Freddy Got Fingered review, a crossover with Oancitizen, he suggests that Gord's Love Interest is the perfect synthesis of Madonna and Whore: she's obsessed with phallic objects and blowjobs, but they never have any other kind of sex, and being a disabled nurse plays her as being nurturing but also needing to be nurtured herself. In the Charlie's Angels (2000) review a combination of the movie and stupid fan comments brings about the end of feminism, and she declares that the two options are "burqa or slut." Thus she does the review in a burqanote "That's not a burqa, it's a niqab!".

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_afb7052	comment	Batman & Robin: Seen in the two women who dominate Mr. Freezeâ€™s character arc. In his pre-villian life, Dr. Victor Fries placed his wife Nora into cryogenic hibernation to prevent her from succumbing to a fatal disease. While her backstory is not revealed in much detail, she was clearly the love of his life. Even in her current state he accords her a sense of reverence and is determined to find a cure. His partner in crime, Poison Ivy, is very much the opposite; a scheming woman who uses her sexuality - among other things - to ensnare men to do her bidding. Views Nora as a threat, even in her suspended state. Upon finding out that she nearly killed Nora out of jealousy, Freeze vows to make her life a living hell. Ivy herself also serves as a foil to the characterâ€™s previous civilian identity, Dr. Pamela Isley. In contrast to Ivyâ€™s highly sexualized beauty and interest in men (at least as tools to get what she wants), Isley had something of a homely appearance and no romantic aspirations. While both were extremely dedicated to the plant world, Isley was a passionate scientist trying to prevent extinction, while Ivy used living plants for evil purposes.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_d96395da	comment	In the Freddy Got Fingered review, a crossover with Oancitizen, he suggests that Gord's Love Interest is the perfect synthesis of Madonna and Whore: she's obsessed with phallic objects and blowjobs, but they never have any other kind of sex, and being a disabled nurse plays her as being nurturing but also needing to be nurtured herself.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_de6659ec	comment	Once Upon a Time The show uses this with Belle and her Cursed counterpart Lacey. Belle is the Madonna—she's the Token Wholesome as well as bookish and caring. She's the one able to see the good in Rumpelstiltskin. Lacey meanwhile is the Whore—she dresses provocatively, Really Gets Around, drinks and hustles people playing pool. She meanwhile is attracted to the darkness in Rumple. A similar contrast is done between Snow White and Regina. Snow White of course has Incorruptible Pure Pureness and her Storybrook counterpart Mary Margaret is modest and virgin-like. Regina meanwhile as the Evil Queen favoured outfits with cleavage that provided plenty of Fanservice. Whenever she's attempting a Heelâ€“Face Turn, her outfits become more modest. Of course on a deeper level, it's not so black and white. While Regina is essentially raping Graham, the "relationship" doesn't last that long—and Regina is pretty asexual for most of the time. Meanwhile, Mary Margaret has no problem having a one night stand with Dr Whale or pursuing a married man.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_dfe1eef5	comment	In Anita Blake, the eponymous character suffers from this kind of thinking. Often she and other characters, mostly male, believe her to be a slut and treat her badly because she has something called the ardeur, a magical compulsion to have sex. If she didn't give in to it, it would eventually kill her, and through her, everyone she is magically tied to (most of the cast). This is a source of much conflict in the series.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_dff248f8	comment	Dulcinea and Kitty Softpaws both grew up in Francoist Spain, which was very restrictive for women. Dulcinea was seen as a good girl and her parents loved her very much, but they married her off at fourteen to a man who seemed kind but sent all six of her children away because they made her too busy to pay attention to him. Kitty, meanwhile, was caught masturbating at age twelve, and her father broke her hands, disowned her, and sent her off to what was effectively a Juvenile Hell for imperfect daughters. None of this is exaggerated from the real Francoist regime.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_e2ade9fb	comment	In the Book of Genesis, where Tamar disguises herself as a shrine prostitute to sleep with her former father-in-law and becomes pregnant by him. At first, Judah sentences her to be burned to death for engaging in illicit sex... but she sends a messenger with the cord and seal that she had taken as "collateral," saying that the man who owns them is the father. Judah recognizes the MacGuffins as his, and spares Tamar's life. He even says that she is more righteous than he is, because she had done her duty (perpetuating the lineage of her deceased husband) and Judah had not (he married his youngest son Shelah off to someone else, even though Shelah was supposed to marry Tamar to provide for her and father children on his dead brother's behalf.) From then on, Tamar lives in Judah's household, raises the twins born from their sexual act and he provides for her and the kids as he would an actual wife (although they didn't have sex again.)

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_e4a3b3a5	comment	TB Skyen, in his analysis of Queen Yharnam, posits that Bloodborne deconstructs this in its depiction of Yharnam and Arianna. Yharnam is a queen, dressed in saintly whites and bears the child of a god, whereas Arianna is a prostitute (who directly calls herself a whore) dressed in a fine, but very revealing outfit, who offers her services to the player in the form of blood ministration. Despite this, they are ultimately both victims of rape by the Jerkass God Oedon, who impregnates them with his inhuman offspring unwillingly (Arianna is very clearly not consenting, and Yharnam has bound hands like a sacrifice). Wether society treats them as a madonna or a whore, both women suffer the same indignity and assault.

He has no problems with working with women in general, and regularly cheats on his girlfriends with various groupies and sex workers, but he also treats the same groupies and sex workers with contempt bordering on outright hostility. At one point, Johnny will angrily chastise V for insinuating that saving a group of abused and imperiled sex workers from a particularly vile and vicious pimp is a good thing.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_f01be35d	comment	Gor: The women in Gorean society are divided into a dichotomy. Free women live in seclusion and commonly must wear bulky robes and veil their face when in public, but are treated with honor and courtesy. Kajirae (slave women) are normally scantily-clad and used for slave labor, especially of the sexual kind, and a kajira is always at the mercy of her master. Free women are jealous of kajirae because the former are forced to repress their emotions and be frigid or risk enslavement.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_f17b6117	comment	Frontier (2016): The owners of the Alehouse have to get Captain Johnson in a compromising position with one of the tavern girls in order to blackmail him. The problem is that he's a deeply Christian man, so Imogen taking the direct "whore" approach just leads to Johnson getting annoyed and telling her to leave. Mary instead tries the "madonna" tactic by presenting herself as a religious girl who finds herself tempted by bodily sin. This proves a lot more successful.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_f3e1f424	comment	Inverted in Merlin (2008). It is the unambiguously moral Guinevere who is linked with love and sex (desired by both Arthur and Lancelot) whilst the more dubiously good Morgana becomes more asexual as the show goes on—she begins as a flirty and good female version of The Charmer but loses all interest in men by series 3, at which point she's a Wicked Witch. Even more interestingly, Morgana's evil plan to discredit Guinevere revolves around making Arthur believe that she's cheating on him with Lancelot. Morgana initially dresses more revealingly, and then during her descent into darkness, she comes to wear long-sleeves exclusively, while Gwen goes from modest servant dresses to fancy, low-cut gowns.

Madonna-Whore Complex / int_fa738078	comment	Sailor Moon: Zigzagged. While the female villains are always provocatively dressed, positively-depicted females are always dressed, if not actively conservatively, in socially acceptable variations on uniforms. On the other hand, Usagi is shown sleeping with her boyfriend several times throughout the manga series, including the very end of the manga, when he asks her to marry him. And in fact, it's implied that they already conceived their daughter by the time they marry. She's shown very clearly to be a good person. And not only that but Naoko Takeuchi often draws Usagi in lingerie or naked, often alongside a naked/half-naked Mamoru. And she's never denigrated for that. Subverted by the Sailor Starlights, a trio of heroic aliens whose outfits are pretty revealing. Subverted with Makoto and Minako: both have a tendency to chase boys, especially the latter in the manga, with Minako sometimes wearing somewhat revealing clothes, yet they're superheroic, especially Minako, who has a rather pronounced Chronic Hero Syndrome.
