  • Patricia Highsmith's Fiction to Cinema
    PATRICIA HIGHSMITH’S FICTION TO CINEMA MCA By Marc Rosenberg 2016 PATRICIA HIGHSMITH’S FICTION TO CINEMA By Marc Rosenberg Table of Contents Certificate of Original Authorship Abstract PART 1 Exegesis: Patricia Highsmith’s Fiction to Cinema Bibliography PART 2 Creative Component: Screenplay “Friendly Fire” CERTIFICATE OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP I certify that the work in this thesis has not previously been submitted for a degree nor has it been submitted as part of requirements for a degree except as fully acknowledged within the text. I also certify that the thesis has been written by me. Any help that I have received in my research work and the preparation of the thesis itself has been acknowledged. In addition, I certify that all information sources and literature used are indicated in the thesis. Signature of Student: Marc Rosenberg Date: June 7, 2016 PATRICIA HIGHSMITH’S FICTION TO CINEMA ABSTRACT How does the psychological uncertainty in Patricia Highsmith’s fiction benefit the cinematic adaptation of her work? Patricia Highsmith died in 1995 and her fiction has grown in popularity not only with readers, but with filmmakers. Since the director Alfred Hitchcock adapted Strangers on a Train in 1951, more than thirty of her novels have been made into films. The adaptation from one medium into another is an abstract process, particularly when novels are as psychologically dependent as Highsmith’s. In this paper, I examine the cinematic strategies experienced filmmakers have used to adapt Highsmith’s psychological content into a visual medium and discuss their level of success. The creative component of my application is the feature film screenplay, “Friendly Fire”, in which I make use of the same ‘psychological uncertainty’ found in Highsmith’s fiction.

Ever since I began graduate school, I have looked forward to my meetings with Bill, who has unceasingly supported my rather tortuous intellectual trajectory. Frances has been a wonderful reader and perfectly demanding interlocutor. She also kept me focused on the finish line whenever I was tempted to slow down or veer off course. James Duesterberg and Andres Millan are my primary founts of intellectual rigor and conversational virtuosity. James and Andres see through any and all bullshit—personal, philosophical, institutional—and I feel incredibly lucky to have them as close friends and colleagues. Sonia Vora and Aleks Prigozhin were unfailingly generous in helping me structure my thoughts at the initial stages of writing. Sonia was always attentive to my unsolicited riffing, and offered unexpected and often brilliant thoughts in return.

  • Gothic Inheritance and the Troubles in Contemporary Irish Fiction
    Page 3 ‘Give it Welcome’: Gothic Inheritance and the Troubles in Contemporary Irish Fiction Matthew Schultz On April 10, 1998, the British and Irish governments signed the Good Friday Agreement, marking the official end of the Troubles in Northern Ireland––though not the cessation of violence. A year earlier, Jeffrey Glenn, a 46 year old librarian in Ballynahinch, County Down, submitted an essay for a retrospective collection, Children of The Troubles: Our Lives in the Crossfire of Northern Ireland . In it, he recalls the pangs of terror he regularly experienced while growing up in a Belfast suburb in the 1950s: As a young child, I used to look carefully under my bed every night before saying my prayers. The Irish Republican Army campaign of the fifties was in full swing and I was checking for bombs. Even if I couldn’t see one, I still lay quaking with fear for what seemed like hours every night.(1) Glenn’s variation on this common childhood anxiety of ‘monsters under the bed’ highlights the particular paranoia caused by Irish paramilitary violence that threatened to erupt into domestic spaces. Glenn was a prisoner in his own “suburban stronghold.”(2) Outside, he recalls, “Buses, trucks, cars, and construction equipment formed blazing barricades and groups of angry­faced men were busy hi­jacking more.”(3) Later, Belfast was to be divided by more permanent ‘peace lines’ constructed of iron, brick, and steel, and topped with metal netting that reached a height of twenty­five feet. These barriers separated Catholic from Protestant neighborhoods,
