'''Women character deaths''' exemplify the problems with female characters generally: They are often not fleshed out as real people; as stand-ins for collections of stereotypes, archetypes, and plot functions, their deaths are also treated as symbols and plot functions.

* [[women in refrigerators]]
* [[death by childbirth]] - of course, because women are seen largely as childbearers and [[mother]]s, death by childbirth is a preoccupation of writers, even when the death is wholly unrealistic (e.g., ''[[Star Wars Episode 1]]'')
* [[women die so men can take revenge]]
