Deborah Kelly's music video Beastliness explores the notion of feminist criticism. She uses all aspects of wilderness including animal faces, animalistic dancing and music to portray a sense that women are threatening. The use of insects are also used as an emphasis that smaller animals are seen as a bigger threat as they have fangs and stingers to defend themselves.

Feminist criticism Exploring the notion of feminist criticism, Deborah Kellys music video is a perfect example. She uncovers female traditional art, interprets her work so that it will not be ignored by males point of view, and increases awareness of sexual politics of language and style and analyses things from her perspective. Deborah Kelly uncovers traditional female works by going beyond the means of crazy. She uses all aspects of wilderness including animal faces, animalistic dancing and music. She replaces the females body parts with animals to portray a sense that women are threatening, not as nurturing and nice as they are portrayed to be. Like humans do in any environment of the wild, act, carefully and cautious of lions, tigers and bears thats what it should be like before approaching a women rather than treating them on how they look. The use of insects are also used as an emphasis that smaller animals are seen as a bigger threat as they have fangs and stingers to defend themselves. This is also done to encourage a level of awareness that men are to not be so careless and curious about the outer appearance of a womans features because they are survivors too. Kelly re-mythologises femininity, avoiding the stereotypes that constrain and demonise people for their difference. She creates a new myth and exaggerates what women are expected of now days by avoiding the stereotypes. She undertakes an animalistic approach to hide these differences and show women for whom they are without distractions. Kellys strategy is to embrace diversity: these creatures represent many female forms, thoughts and experiences, and celebrate acceptance and freedom of expression. She uses sexual images to convey this sense of freedom. That woman should have the right to be allowed to sleep with other males and not be stereotyped as a slut. She also shows this idea through animalistic dressing women dont necessarily have to be wearing a red dress with silver dime. She celebrates the acceptance of women to all human kind, and proposes that women should be free of speech. The six breasts expresses that women can show their private parts and that they should not have to cover their self-up if they dont want to.
