Hitchcock's Subtextual Coding in 'Rope'
Hitchcock is no stranger to innuendo, as was common in that era, but there was something so sophisticated about his approach to 'Rope', and it starts in the first frame.
Imp
Tristan, a miserable gay man, resents his lost youth and decides to end it all with a glass of poison. What he doesn't know is his antique mirror is a backdoor to hell, and his contempt has drawn out a mischievous demon, an Imp, with a dangerous proposition for him. "Imp" examines ageism of gay men, while repurposing gothic fairytales into the LGBT story.
