So maybe we will never know if Claire Dearing truly deep down chose to wear heels that day she had to fight for her life, she is after all a fictional character in a science fiction film. Given her characterization, however, I would say she was in control of her own desired image. Despite the dinosaur operations manager occupation, she is not completely unrealistic person. I know women like Claire who do work in a corporate, albeit, non-dino world. And in the event of disaster, she wasn’t thinking about her heels, she was too busy trying to survive.
