how're you doin today mike?
I am wiling to make the portrait of a street.
To know who lives where, who dreams what,
who says so.
What makes a place, a place we know
and the active parts of it.
I believe I reached a faithful interpretation of my research
through my final output (the main illustration)
The comfort and discomfort I feel
what I love and what I don't
all the mistakes and misspellings,
of Stroud Green Road.

You can't predict.
Not married, has a girlfriend.
My team is St. green road 1992
About the German defense, he doesn't think it's worth it.
Steve, moved in last year, from the pound plus shop.

Other analysis centers on the relationship between Jeff and the other side of the apartment block, seeing it as a symbolic relationship between spectator and screen. Film theorist Mary Ann Doane has made the argument that Jeff, representing the audience, becomes obsessed with the screen, where a collection of storylines are played out. This line of analysis has often followed a feminist approach to interpreting the film. It is Doane who, using Freudian analysis to claim women spectators of a film become 'masculinized', pays close attention to Jeff's rather passive attitude to romance with the elegant Lisa, that is, until she crosses over from the spectator side to the screen, seeking out the wedding ring of Thorwald's murdered wife. It is only then that Jeff shows real passion for Lisa.
Further analysis into Jefferies character could also be interpreted as somewhat of a voyeur. Because of Jeff's sexual frustration with Lisa, he may look to other sources to fulfill his sexual need.
