    To what effect does ‘Jaws’ manipulate the conventions of the ‘Overcoming the Monster’ plot? The Anticipation Stage is when Jaws first attacks the drunken women going for a swim but is not eaten by the shark as he spits it out and lands ashore giving a warning to the tourists of Amity Island.

The Frustration stage is when it kills another 2 people making it seem as if Chief

    In the movie Jaws they got a new sheriff Martin Brody‚ he was sheriff that watched over the beach. He noticed that one day there washed remains of a shark victim. He immediately wanted to shut the beach down. Right there when he wanted to shut the beach down was the best thing he could have done because he was looking out for everyone on the beach.
