Özet
This chapter will claim that the femme fatale today has evolved into the female robot: the fembot. It will be suggested that the fembot is represented through the characteristics associated with the archetype of the femme fatale. However, while the fate of the femme fatale has classically met a tragic end, the fembot manages to create a space where she does not have to comply with the intended existence behind her creation. The fembot transgresses the representation of the femme fatale and can be said to be a figure of resistance. This shift will be demonstrated through the analysis of two recent examples: Ex Machina (2014) and Westworld (2016-). © The Author(s) 2020.
