John Steed
He's the main character, and he represents class and age. From his first appearance we see him being presented as a noble and and arrogant gentleman of class. His age doesn't effect his physical ability as he's able to defend himself against a group of soldiers with his steel hat. Throughout the episode we encounter sexual tension between him and Emma Peel which attracts the male viewers. Steed is presented as a very British man as in the train ride he pulls out a pot of tea and a tray of crumpets. Emma Peel She's John's sidekick and she represents class and gender. She somewhat breaks the stereotype of pretty woman being useless because she helps John solve the mysteries and she's an 'Advanced Martial Artist' so she has a purpose. However she can always be seen wearing very provocative clothes for the attention of the male audience. She's clearly dominated by Steed and there seems to be a strange flirtatious relationship between them two.
