Resumo

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of Vesper Lynd in Fleming's Casino Royale, comparing her portrayal in both the novel and its film adaptation. Through an exploration of gender representations, heroism, morality, and interpersonal dynamics, the discussion delves into the complexities of Lynd as a mirror to James Bond. It examineshow she challenges traditional gender norms and notions of heroism, while also prompting moral dilemmas for Bond. By analysing the differences between the media, it reveals the nuances of her characterization as a multifaceted character who transcends the archetype of the Bond girl, offering a profound reflection on human nature.
