Which of the following is not considered to be a standard narrative used by the media to construct women who commit very serious crimes?

The portrayal of women who commit serious crimes in the media often draws from a set of prevalent narratives that shape public perceptions. Among these narratives, "good wives" represents a conventional image of femininity that emphasizes domesticity, nurturing, and moral integrity. This narrative generally does not align with the characteristics of women involved in criminal behavior, who are often framed through more deviant or extreme constructs, such as mythical monsters or social deviants.

On the other hand, mythical creatures and monsters imply a sensationalized or exaggerated portrayal that seeks to emphasize the extraordinary nature of their crimes, often portraying female offenders as aberrations of societal norms. Social deviants label individuals who strayed from expected behaviors, further distancing the images of women involved in crime from the idea of conventional 'good wives.'

Thus, while the other narratives align with the sensational framing of female criminals, the "good wives" archetype stands in contrast, as it does not fit the context of women who are depicted as committing serious crimes.
