Abstract

This essay demonstrates how the sleuthing of L.B. Jefferies, his girlfriend Lisa, and his nurse Stella metaphorically reassembles Mrs. Thorwald, Rear Window's murder victim. Jefferies's disability eventually enables him to recognize not only his but also neighbors' interdependency and results in his metamorphosis into a more compassionate neighbor and lover.
