Bellamy Blake, immediately stands out, as he begins to take over the leadership position among the

other teens. In the clip below, he immediately takes over the reins and says and does what he wants,
and does not care what anyone else has to say

The way fact that he walks out of the tent shirtless, with his hoister protruding prominently around his
waist, shows that he is presenting the aggressive, alpha male stereotype. Also the way he
condescendingly kisses the girl he obviously spent the night with, presents this competitive energy
where he wants everyone to know that he is in charge. Not only is the way that he appears aggressive,
the way he is speaking also asserts a level of condescension that presents a dominant authority.
Additionally, the fact that he seems to have others who closely follow his rulings, such as the guy
originally trying to take the clothing, adds to the power trip he is on. It is clear that Bellamy is presenting
this front to conform to what his society has taught him powerful males are supposed to act. He has no
agency of his own, as he is trying to live up to the hegemonic standard that exists.
