    Hitchcock used juxtaposition at the scene of murder in Rear Window too. The film does not show the exact scene of murder, but we can know it is murdering through the screaming of the woman. Furthermore, the editing of suspicious behavior of Thornwald makes us think it is murder.

      IN Greek tragedy, that's called offstage action. Sometimes it's more gruesome to not see it, and to just imagine it.
