The Secrets of Great Mystery and Suspense Fiction

The Private Eye Evolves (1x15)

Exibido em:: Out 10, 2013

As the mystery genre adapted to social transformations, the characters themselves evolved. Professor Schmid examines traditional examples of the private eye and compares them to a modern take as illustrated by Lisbeth Salander. Classic private eye characters often have distinct character flaws. Larsson updates this notion with a vengeance, giving Lisbeth almost no likeable qualities.
