"The “femme fatale” trope is defined as a portrayal of a female character as an irresistibly attractive woman, especially one who leads men into difficult, dangerous, or disastrous situations. It is an easily recognisable trope in pop culture, and the characters may show traits motivated by financial gain and financial independence, and can charm men into giving them what they want. Examples include Jane Smith (Mr. and Mrs. Smith), Amy Dunn (Gone Girl), Cruella de Vil (Cruella)
