James Bond is an iconic character because he represents the high class British male and appeal to women as well as being a role model for men. He is presented almost as a God and made to be perfect he's fit, charming, confident and a womaniser this makes him a role model and an idol for men. He is the hero in the story who always defeats the villain and gets the girl. His excellent physique mixed with his confident charm makes him desirable to women and therefore likable. The villain is always presented in a bad light making James seem better and means most people forget his out of line behaviour. The way Bond is always with an elegant, sophisticated and strong woman can make him seem even more Godly and of high status. They add excitement a humour to the narrative by being able to charm the audience and being confident means his cheeky one liners have more impact. We discover the first layer of James Bond in the beginning, he is always introduced first and shown in the thick of action, doing what we expect. It's not until later on that see the true depth of his character.
