Your wall looks really good so far. You have a lot of good examples. I would just label some of the photos that aren't as recognizable so people know who they are. You should also add your thesis.

Your ideas look great, though I would add labels just in case others aren't really familiar with them. Also, you could probably add the Black Widow from The Avengers, or the girls from Charlie's Angels.

Your wall is really good, but you should label

the pictures. Also maybe add a few videos!

I love all the examples you have so far but I think a really great example you could add would be the black widow spider, which is known for "Females sometimes kill and eat their counterparts after mating in a macabre behavior that gave the insect its name." according to national geographic. Although this example is non-fictional, there are many portrayals of the black window in several movies like in the Avengers.

I love the layout of your wall, it really reflects the tone of your archetype. I would label and explain the examples, so people have a clearer understanding of what you are presenting.

I really like the examples from Gossip Girl and 90210 because they are perfect examples of a Femme Fatale. Nancy Botwin from Weeds is a great example that you may want to consider because she uses her looks to charm and deceive all the men in her life.

I really like your examples so far. I recommend using Margaery Tyrell from Game of Thrones. Margaery, uses her innocent look to get the upper-hand on men. She plays the innocent, weak girl, but really, she is cunning and deadly.

The archetype of the Femme Fatale and her role in literature or films has not changed overtime; this is proved with the examples of Cleopatra, Lady Macbeth, and Sydney Prosser
