RESUMO

The objective of this research is to demonstrate that Hitchcock?s attention to confrontations, both in the treatment of themes and in the construction of characters, is present in different narrative structures that he developed, in this manner highlighted. The first chapter shows that characters are built so as to live the confrontation between guilt and innocence, and that this narrative profile affects viewers through different inflexions of identification with characters.In the second chapter, the objective is to explore the mechanism that integrates the hiding and revelation of information both from characters and from viewers, indicating how the director radicalizes doubtful, misleading and ambiguous relationships and, in this respect, how the link between disclosure and dissimulation feeds suspense. The third chapter goes towards two core questions, related to the attention of the director to the link between image and sound, as the camera moves from one dialogue to set on another action, without dialogue. At the same time, Hitchcock?s attention to sound sources will gain prominence as the point-of-view is sometimes in the listening position and other times in the silent position, even in his silent movies. Finally, the fourth and last chapter is centered on the way Hitchcock explores the body, outlining on the corporal surface many orders of tension, from the burden of unfair conviction to the moral consequences of one?s acts, an elaboration that is an esthetical exercise towards building a body that shows, in its presence, in its gestures, and in its timing, an eminently visual feature and, for this reason, cinematographic. The investigation, by exploring the different narrative mechanisms of the director, indicates the visual priority that he assigned to the confrontations present in the themes and characters chosen for his movies
