In the final segment of Alien we see Ripley somewhat differently than we have to that point.  Most obviously, she undresses in the escape pod, puts on a bulky space suit, than appears at the very end in kind of nightshirt.  Ripley continues, of course, to fight resourcefully against the alien and, by extension, The Company and its profit-driven, dehumanizing, militarized vision of the world, so that’s nothing new.  But how, if at all, do these costume changes in the final scenes alter your vision of the character?
