* This is both played straight and parodied in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl''. Early on, Elizabeth faints from her overly-tight corset; near the end, she pretends to faint in order to distract the local guards. In ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest'', it's parodied again as she pretends to faint in an attempt to break up a fight between her current and former fiancés, and they both ignore her.
** The fact that she's not wearing a corset in the latter instance probably has something to do with the men ignoring her. The reason cited (the heat) is less-than-convincing coming from a convicted pirate/swordswoman who's spent more than her share of time in the tropics. That, and they're so focused on surviving their three-man swordfight that they ''continue'' to not notice her when she starts shouting and throwing clumps of sand.
