10 HORROR CLASSICS (YOU DIDN’T REALIZE WERE ABOUT BEG GAY)
So, I figured I'd say what the hell and throw together a b of analysis on the film's gay subtext as pertas to the relatnship between Bill Harford and Nick Nightgale. In light of this, I'll try to foc on the more five evince for a gay subtext that the film prents, rather than the subtle, Hays-que "queer dg"* that employs. *[This is the historil textual technique of implyg that a character is homosexual whout outright nfirmg .
The most ncrete illtratn of Ey Wi Shut's gay subtext is what uld be lled an 'end subplot'. While the homosexual qualy of Bill and Nightgale's relatnship appears to be thematic rather than leral, there is a strg of narrative sequenc the film which are clearly tend to metaphorilly imply a semtilly proximal "gay affair" story arc. In particular, is tend to rrpond to the revelatn that Domo, the prostute, tts posive for HIV (the epimic which has had a chronicled disproportnate impact on homosexual men, specifilly).
Right after Gillpie's, Bill go to Nick's hotel and talks to the sk clerk (who is himself overtly d as a feme homosexual stereotype). That jt about vers most of the fg elements of the film's gay arc, but there are some other key pots of tert worth mentng:. Nightgale not wearg his rg while visg out of his hometown would seem to feed to the "homosexual tryst" subtext.
