The Makeover in Hitchcock's Vertigo and Marnie

This thesis will examine the idea of the makeover in Vertigo and Marnie and explore its function for the plot and characterisation. Namely, it will discuss the connection between the physical makeover and the change of character's identity as well as their mental and emotional state and the ways in which this contributes to movie's dynamic. It will also analyse the different uses of the makeover in these two films. Namely, in Vertigo, Judy is transformed into Madeleine twice, both times by men, while the makeover is Marnie's everyday course of action. The change in clothes, hair and makeup signals the change in personalities as well as the dynamic between the two sexes in a patriarchal society. Furthermore, this thesis will explore the ways in which a makeover changes people’s perspective as well as how it determines their perception of others. I will employ Deleuze and Guattari's concept of 'becoming' to analyse these makeovers and the subsequent transformations of the protagonists
