dc.description.abstractMy thesis aims to explore the themes of identity, transgender people and artistic expression in Tom Hooper’s “The Danish Girl”, in the 1920s Copenhagen. Through the portrayal of Lili Elbe’s transformative journey from Einar Wegener to Lili, the film challanges societal expectations of gender identity and highlights the complexities of human emotions. As Lili navigates her transition, society’s reaction range from curiosity to hostility, reflecting the ignorance and intolerance towards transgender individuals. Gerda Wegener’s position is also a central theme in my analysis, as she shows unwavering support towards Lili, while also navigating her own identity as a wife of a transgender person, as well as battleing with her own struggles as a female artist in a male-dominant society. The film also highlights contrasting opinions and methods of the medical field for transgender people who seek professional help. Einar himself was also an artist, but lost inspiration when her transformation began, but Lili’s role as a model becomes an important aspect for Gerda’s artistic exploration. Ultimately, this paper relfects on the fluidity of identity, rigid societal norms and the transformative power of art.
