Lisbeth's character has been described as "the face of new feminism, the new XXI century heroine or the metaphor of cultural subversion", and Rooney Mara's role is all this and more, because "never has there been a female as it is small and thin, androgynous person who has many facets, "the actress accepted.
In an interview by Columbia Pictures, Mara stressed that theirs is a role "in that you feel very connected, and yet you wonder why he does things that no one agrees. That to me is very interesting. "
