Judd Suss Stereotyping is a method in which the media portrays something in compliance to a fixed or general pattern. These patterns or methods are often found in film and literature, usually for the purpose of persuasion and comedy. In the film Jud Suss, the screenwriter designed to set for a Nazi propaganda themed movie, which was very controversial. From beginning to end the use of stereotyping helped create the characters Duke Alexander and Dorethea Sturm to help portray his anti-Semitic views to the public. Duke Alexander is an overweight definition of a Duke in the 1700’s. His openhanded inauguration with the entire city looking upon him is the start of his downfall. From the beginning of the picture, the Duke is up to his evil ways. His ravenous chuckle and self-assured poise illustrate his power beyond the Jew-banned city. With the help of Oppenheimer, a hackneyed, money-hungry, con artist with a long beard and great wittiness, the Duke begins to gain everything a man of power could ever wish. Conning tolls from passing townspeople over the roads and bridges, he makes money the dirty way, all ideas from his latest advisor.
