Rachel Keller

Our analysis focuses on the authoritative shift between genders that exists in Ringu and the Ring.
Contradictions
The Films
The Ring (2002)
Ringu (1998)
Like every other arguments there is always evidence to the contrary:
- Sadaka/Samara's final view
- Rachel's need to be saved at the farm
Noah to the Rescue

Evidence
Two major scenes illustrate this authoritative shift:
