I was wondering if you guys think that Hermione Granger is an example especially in Philosopher's Stone, when she gets panicky about not having firewood to burn the Devil's Snare before being reminded she is a witch and can conjure fire.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanJust wondering if this would count as a subversion; Alice has just lost her best friend, and the next couple of appearances have her crying over her loss. A month or so passes, and Alice is later shown to be still depressed, but no longer a basket case over the situation. Then, after a particularly traumatic event, Bob is shown crying and Alice consoling him.
Removed this:
This trope is about a women being portrayed as more emotional and unreliable than men. It's not about an instance where a woman is having a fully justified freakout in a situation where anyone would fall to pieces and a man happens to be more calm for whatever reason. (Not that Cage is a great example of 'calm' either, as he's slowly growing more unhinged as the movie goes on - justifiably unhinged, but then so is she.)
