A couple of hours later he telephones England and finds Laura has arrived home safely. When John first sees the dwarf, he mistakes her for a young, frightened child running through the streets wearing a hooded jacket. C. William (Harbour MainBell Island), Dooley, Brendan 1953- (Brendan Maurice Dooley), https://www.encyclopedia.com/education/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/dont-look-now. A sense of mystery infuses du Maurier’s story from the opening lines. The opening scene (in which he and Laura conjecture about the nationalities and sexual orientation of the sisters) is merely a game, but one in which they (albeit laughingly) try to discern everything they can about this strange pair of women: “You know what it is,” John tells Laura, “they’re criminals doing the sights of Europe, changing sex at each stop.” Laura (who has not yet learned of Christine’s presence and is therefore still, like John, prone to explain away any oddities she encounters) adds, “They’re a couple of pathetic old retired schoolmistresses on holiday, who’ve saved up all their lives to visit Venice. ." She is able to speak with them about Christine, something she has not really been able to do with John, who simply wants her to get over their daughter’s death. John is married to Laura. With the help of her fellow females, Laura takes steps to grow, while John is literally and figuratively left behind. She died in Par, Cornwall, England, on April 19,1989. The blind twin sister appears with her sighted twin sister at the restaurant where Laura and John are having lunch in Torcello, Italy, near Venice. Maps and photographs are included. You know things are bad when you’re getting ripped by CNN — and you too are a liberal news outlet. A married couple grieving the recent death of their young daughter are in Venice when they encounter two elderly sisters, one of whom is psychic and brings a warning from beyond. He has not yet attempted another du Maurier story, although Daphne felt that there were ‘several awaiting a cunning hand’. Don't Look Now picks up right where Don't Turn Around ended, you definitely need to read them in order to fully understand what is happening. This notion that the belief in the supernatural lacks a logical “argument” yet simultaneously solicits an irrational but unshakable “belief” is what drives Daphne du Maurier’s “Don’t Look Now,” where John is presented as a man constantly searching for rational “arguments” to explain the unexplainable, only to eventually find his rational view of the world (and his deceased daughter’s role within it) compromised, “Their very trip to Venice is John’s attempt to bring Laura back to his world of level-headedness; he sees himself as something like a cult deprogrammer with a duty to restore his wife’s wits to their ‘proper’ sphere.”. John’s thoughts during the game also reveal a crucial component of his character: his slight yet detectable sense of superiority over his wife: Her voice, for the first time since they had come away, took on the old bubbling quality he loved, and the worried frown between her brows had vanished. Women’s political power also increased in the 1960s, with 29 women holding seats as Members of Parliament in the House of Commons in 1964—the largest number since women were first allowed to stand for election in 1918. As the story progresses, John repeatedly attempts to account for anything that might threaten his superiority by failing to register on his logical radar: he thinks the sisters are con artists, he tells Laura that the first cry heard in the alley is that of “some drunk” and that the sisters “found a sucker” in her, he thinks the vision of Christine near the table is “damned stupid” simply because “in earthly life she would have been tucked up hours ago in bed,” he ascribes the blind sister’s trance to “epilepsy” rather than a psychic vision and even finds himself agreeing with the policeman’s plausible yet highly unlikely theory that he saw Laura on the canal boat with the sisters because Laura had “a sudden attack of amnesia” and therefore “clung to them for support.”. Then, copy and paste the text into your bibliography or works cited list. He can juggle images with great skill to build up a complex pattern of associations, though in Don’t Look Now his sophisticated approach is held in check by the limits imposed by du Maurier’s story and the conventions of the horror thriller. United Kingdom After Laura leaves, John takes a ferry to San Marco to pick up his car. John’s suspicions about the sisters increase when he apparently sees them on a boat with Laura at a time when Laura should be on a plane to England. John’s concern deepens when he sees them at a church later and again at dinner that night, where they tell Laura that he is in some kind of danger and should leave Venice immediately. by Sam Amico April 6, 2021, 9:29 am updated April 6, 2021, 1:30 pm 12 Comments.

Other du Maurier novels and stories have been made into films, including “Don’t Look Now,” originally published in 1970, and “The Birds.”, Du Maurier continued writing nearly to the end of her life. Laura is called back to England, but John sees her dressed in mourning, apparently going to the cemetery; a phone call to England establishes that she is safe.

At the end of the film, in a scene where Heather was supposed to be guided by her sister, Nick said, “Leave her, let’s see what she’ll do,” and I kicked my toe against the steps as if I really were blind. He does not tell her about seeing the hooded character he assumes to be a child in danger, because it “might have had a disastrous effect on her overwrought nerves.” When John catches a glimpse of the sisters at the cathedral, he keeps this from Laura, too, believing that the old ladies are out to bother them or even to get money from them.
