Tenet Proves That Christopher Nolan Can’t Write Female Characters
The Big Picture Writer-director Christopher Nolan’s films are known for many things: high concept, massive budgets, impressive cinematography, a roster of talented actors, and Hans Zimmer’s scores. One thing he's definitely not known for is his female characters, who are lazily written, sidelined, and often killed. In perhaps his most convoluted film thus far, Tenet again fails its central female character, a recurring issue in Nolan's filmography.
'Tenet' Is Another Example of Nolan Relying on Outdated Tropes An easily identifiable trope in Nolan's films is the "woman in the refrigerator." Coined by writer Gale Simone, the trope refers to a female character who is killed off or otherwise hurt for the purpose of motivating the male protagonist and moving the story forward.
How 'Tenet' Victimizes Kat Barton Tenet's Kat Barton , art appraiser and estranged wife of the ruthless Sator, serves as a motivator for the film's Protagonist. Notably Kat and the Protagonist have no romantic relationship, but the viewer is meant to feel sympathy for her because she is a mother suffering from abuse at the hands of her cruel husband Sator.
