This source examines Hitchcock’s life from childhood until his death, encompassing his achievements at a young age like attending the University of London or later achievements like winning the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award. Despite this great information, the source simply gives the reader general information about Hitchcock, rather than many details about each film that Hitchcock created.

The use of this source was simply for a concluding quote.

 

Barson, Michael. “Sir Alfred Hitchcock.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica,

Inc., 9 Aug. 2018, www.britannica.com/biography/Alfred-Hitchcock.

This source also examines Hitchcock’s life; however, this particular source gives great detail about his life, such as childhood terrors and great length on the individual films. For this particular essay, minute details about each film were not necessarily important for an informative speech about Hitchcock himself. Nevertheless, the information was helpful despite not including a majority.

Campbell, Carola, and Gabrielle Mander. Rebecca. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 8 Nov. 2018,

www.britannica.com/topic/Rebecca-novel.

 

This source was used to refresh my memory of Rebecca, such as character names or

character traits. While this source is about the book, Rebecca, Hitchcock followed the plotline very similarly in the film, and so while typically the difference between the book and the film is dramatic, Hitchcock did not stray from the plot of the book.

This source was used for Hitchcock’s explanation “Bomb Theory.” The video uses Children

of Men and Touch of Evil to describe the difference between surprise and suspense, and the recording of Hitchcock’s “Bomb Theory” especially dramatizes the explanation of suspense.

​

Hitchcock, Alfred. Hitchcock on Hitchcock: Selected Writings and Interviews. 1st ed., vol. 2,

University of California Press, 2014.

 

Not only was this novel insightful about Hitchcock’s experience in Hollywood, the source showcased the personality of Hitchcock in attesting to the multitude of quotes from Hitchcock himself. Of course, this information unlike many sources is from Hitchcock the man himself; he brought interviews, journals, and other pieces of writing together to create a book full of information about how he worked, why he worked, and who he was.

This source provided a key quote to describe Gothicism in Hitchcock, adding ethos to the

Gothic Literature paragraph. Although the source does discuss a multitude of other topics

surrounding Hitchcock, the quote used is still pertinent.

Miller, Gabriel. “Beyond the Frame: Hitchcock, Art, and the Ideal,” Postscript 5, No. 2 (Winter

1986): 31-46.

 

This source particularly was of aid when discussing the gothic motif of houses. While I

used this source to expand on a Poe short story, the sentiment of the gothic motif of houses still was true, so I implemented the idea onto Poe. This source also discussed other prominent houses in Hitchcock’s films such as Psycho.

This source also described the impact Poe had on Hitchcock, particularly Hitchcock’s childhood reading of Poe. The source was also beneficial for providing quotes from Hitchcock in which Hitchcock stated that he agreed with the similarity between Poe and him.

Spoto, Donald. The Art of Alfred Hitchcock: Fifty Years of His Motion Pictures. 2nd ed., Anchor

Books, 1992.

 

This source provided a unique perspective on Hitchcock, specifically by providing quotes

from interviews with Hitchcock himself. Thus Spoto also gave his interpretation from

those quotes and or interviews. As Spoto claims, this author was very biased in the

viewing of Vertigo; Spoto claims Vertigo as Hitchcock’s best film, but gives his reasoning

why.

Stovall provided information about doppelgangers for “William Wilson”, and the

psychological issues that Poe attempts to highlight through the rising of the dead in

“Ligeia,” and the mentality of Roderick Usher in the “Fall of the House of Usher.” For

this particular assignment, the paragraph about “William Wilson” and “Fall of the House

of Usher” aided comprehension and the ethos of the paper. However, I enjoyed the paragraph on “Ligeia” since previously reading the story.
