The Bird
At 1952, Dame Daphne du Maurier wrote a short story named “The Birds”. Maurier was born on 1907 at London, England. The idea for this famous story came to her one day when she was walking across to Menabilly Barton farm from her house. She saw a farmer busily plowing a field whilst above him the seagulls were diving and wheeling. She developed the idea about the birds becoming hostile and attacking him. Then at 1963 Alfred Hitchcock directed a movie “The Birds” which was based on Maurier’s story, and an attack of birds on 1961 at Santa Cruz, California. Alfred Hitchcock, known as “The Master of Suspense” was born at 1899 in Leytonstone, England. Maurier’s “REBECCA” (1938), was also filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940. Although I couldn’t find any thoughts of Maurier about the movie “REBECCA”, I found that she disliked the movie “The Birds” because In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food, first the seagulls, then birds of prey and finally even small birds, all turn against mankind. The nightmarish idea appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film. Daphne also particularly disliked the translation of the setting from Cornwall, with its small fields and stone hedges, to small-town
