4. One of the themes that Modleski focuses on is “the fascination of femininity of the male protagonist? In what ways does Scotty’s behavior resemble the feminine?

5. Modleski goes on to cite parallelisms between Scottie’s identification with the feminine and Judy/Madeleine. These scenes point to how Scotty identification with Madeleine moves him into a feminine viewpoint.

“ It is as if he were continually confronted with the fact that woman’s uncanny otherness has some relation to himself, that he resembles her in way intolerable to contemplate – intolerable because this resemblance throws into question his own fullness of being (maleness). (The ghostliness--- pg. 92)
