Rear Window


In Rear Window, Alfred Hitchcock uses different windows that displays other's lives that have very similar comparisons to Jefferies life. When Mr. Jefferies starts to view other's windows, he does not see the lives of others but instead the reflection of his own life and emotions. The people that compare to him are: Miss. Lonely Heart, The Newly Weds, The Dancer, The Artist, and The Bachelor.

Miss. Lonely Heart's window: when he views this window he sees his own loneliness and his heed for attention, and that the only thing has to keep him self occupied is viewing out of his window into other's lives, but this loneliness is only temporary do to a broken leg. Also he has a girlfriend unlike Miss. Lonely Heart.

The Newly Weds: When Jefferies looks into The Newly Wed's window he sees what he has trouble in committing to, and that is marriage. When he looks in their window he sees what can come out of marriage both the happiness and sadness, and this is something he longs for but knows he can't have do to his trouble with commitment. So instead of getting married he watches. Also this is the least viewed window because he does not want to be reminded of the subject matter.

The Dancer: When viewing the dancer's window he does not see his own emotions but his girlfriends. See he views his girlfriend's risk filled and fun and fancy free life by looking into this window. See he constantly contradicts her, but when his girlfriend views it she supports the dancer's ways .

The Artist: The Artist displays Jefferies career as photogragher as being an art form. It also displays his artistic side.

The Bachelor: This displays Jefferies own life as a bachelor, but at the end The Bachelor hooks up with Miss. Lonely Heart. Justs as Jefferies becomes closer to his girlfriend.
