women in society was still rampant. Women were supposed to take a subservient role in society and were dependent on men. However, it seems as though Alfred Hitchcock wanted to help end this view by creating strong female characters. In his film “Rear Window,” Hitchcock presents a strong female character in the form of Stella, the nurse to the main character L.B. Jeffries. The relationship between Stella and Jeffries portrays the advancement of the gender norms and shows how women evolved from a…

male gaze, showcasing women as an image and men as owner of what is to be viewed. Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window gives us that male protagonist who observes voyeuristically at his neighbors, including the highly sexualized Miss Torso for most of the duration of the film, perfectly amplifying the patriarchal…

Strangers are simply friends, we haven’t met yet. Strangers are dangerous. Strangers are strange. To someone I am a stranger, and to me you’re a stranger. We may become friends, or we may continue to walk different paths the rest of this lifetime. This could be down to luck, destiny, or our own life planning. Due to frequent déjàvu episodes I sign onto the internet to ferret out information. According to the medical websites, this could be the sign that a mental illness is about to present…

One night in Purple County, it was the beginning of something no one could imagine.

the events of the plot. In the beginning, the character, Tom Bennecke, is shown to be a man very dedicated to his career and an important aspect of his job is all on this one piece of paper that then accidently flies out of the character’s apartment window so he nearly risks his life not only to save the paper, but his own career as well.

quick walkthrough of NSL to ascertain the extent of the damage. She found no further evidence of damage to the office or the lab. Repairing the broken window was inconsequential financially to NSL's budget since business insurance coverage would discharge the required expenses. If not, she could dip into NSL’s rainy-day fund to replace the window pane. Nevertheless, as a precaution, Margarita dialed 911 to report the vandalism at NSL. She did this since prudence demanded it provide a paper…

Fragments of broken glass from sources like windowpanes, and plate glass doors, have slightly different densities. (Bureau of Forensic Services, 2011) If a burglary has occurred, and glass has fallen onto the floor, and the suspect burglar was near the glass when it shattered, perhaps small fragments of glass can be found ensconced in the suspect clothing, particularly in the lower trouser leg areas or the soles of his shoes. (Bureau of Forensic Services, 2011) When a suspect is apprehended and…
