Geoffrey Wagner consequently suggests that in film, âwe cannot see
what we cannot see; in fiction we canâ (183). George Bluestone similarly postulates that film âcan lead us to infer thought [but] it cannot show us thought directlyâ and therefore âthe rendition of
mental statesâmemory, dream, imaginationâcannot be as adequately represented by film as by languageâ (47). Film theorists and narratologists have thus maintained that film, as opposed to
written works of literature, is inherently less well equipped to handle and represent character interiorityâthat is, to delve into a characterâs mind to reveal their thoughts, dreams, fantasies,
memories, as well as emotional and psychological states. However, more recent analyses have demonstrated that there are indeed various âcinematic types of consciousness representationâ
(Alber 265) that closely mirror novelistic techniques for character interiority
