The two Characters that i feel obviously contain the main differences and similarities within Desperate Housewives are Lynette Scavo and Bree Van De Camp/Hodge.
I'll firstly start with Lynette Scavo her representation of being a housewives is a stereotypical hectic overworked mother. She has 4 children who are unruly, husband who prefers work than being at home and a local neighbour who occasionally looks after her children.
She dresses in men shirts with her hair normally tied up, which to me shouts out "runned down MUM" you can tell that like any other mother who have troubled children that in the way which she hardly wears make up and feminine clothes means she's most of her time rushing around after her kids and clearing up the house and cooking just like every stereotypical housewife role. Though this is not all bad, as you can tell that with slight situations that come across within the many series that she is a very intelligent woman who wants to work and make something of her life. she's determined and a control freak.....
Bree Van De Camp/Hodge is a well represented 1950's housewife with elements of modern culture. Her role in life is to be the perfect housewife. She cooks with passion, smothers her 2 children, and pampers her bread winner Husband. She looks and Plays the role perfectly, just like Lynette she's a complete control freak, and also very intelligent. Unlike Lynette Bree takes pride in her appearance, making her hair perfect (which her husband refers to as Non Moving) and making sure that there's not a piece of dust on her surfaces. She's more organized, and prepared for situations like arguments and unwanted surprises.
