In this paper, I trace the theme of revenge across Drive (Refn, 2011) and John Wick (Leitch and Stahelski, 2014). Professor von Hallberg helped me understand these films as vehicles for understanding certain ideas. Throughout the semester I consulted the work of several literary critics to arrive at a better sense of what neo-noir is and to better understand the world of these films. Through close analysis of specific scenes, I hoped to determine what I would learn about vengeance if I lived in the world that these characters inhabit. After watching and re-watching both films several times, I went through scene by scene and observed the details that stood out to me the most. I related these to the literature I had read and suggested what each detail might mean before drawing any conclusions. Once I had completed the core analysis, I reviewed these observations and synthesized them into general claims. I affirmed that revenge was closely related to von Hallberg’s notion of “trust” as a “horizon of hope” (von Hallberg 2). In the end, it was apparent that in punishing those responsible, the protagonists of these films committed to destroying any and all “obstacles to the [re]construction of trust” (von Hallberg 5). Both protagonists are portrayed as avengers who are driven toward the destruction of “the fakery and greed of those around them” (von Hallberg 36). In these films, to extract revenge is to punish the “corrupt[t] [and] [re]buil[d] [in] a world governed by self-interest” (von Hallberg 36).

La exposición de las plantas de vid a bajas temperaturas es uno de los factores que provocan la “coulure”. Este fenómeno involucra la aparición de perturbaciones a nivel de la fotosíntesis y el metabolismo del carbono de la planta. Con el fin de analizar el efecto de una noche fría sobre el contenido de los azúcares de reserva de las inflorescencias de Pinot noir, se expusieron ramas fructíferas de esta cepa de vid a temperaturas de 4°, 0° y -3°C durante una noche, para posteriormente determinar el contenido de glúcidos (glucosa, fructosa, sacarosa y almidón) de las inflorescencias. En paralelo, se realizaron observaciones microscópicas de las reservas amiláceas de las inflorescencias sometidas a una noche a -3°C. Los resultados de este estudio muestran que los contenidos en glucosa y fructosa de las inflorescencias fluctúan durante las primeras horas luego de un estrés de 4° y 0°C. Sin embargo, es sobre todo luego de una noche a -3°C que se pudo constatar una fuerte movilización y consumo de los azúcares de reserva contenidos en las inflorescencias estresadas. -- Palabras clave: Estrés frío, glúcidos, inflorescencia, vid, coulure. / -- Exposure to low temperatures is one of the main factors causing the coulure in grapevine, due to its effect on the plant’s photosynthesis and carbon metabolism. To test the effect of a chilling night on carbon reserves of inflorescences of Pinot Noir, fruiting cuttings that have undergone a low-temperature night at 4°, 0° and -3 ° C were used to determine the levels of carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, sucrose and starch) in the inflorescences. Microscopic observations of inflorescences after a -3 ° C night were performed. The levels of glucose and fructose fluctuated during the first hours after a 4 and 0 ° C night, but it is especially after a chilling night at -3 ° C that a strong mobilization and consumption of carbohydrates in the inflorescence were observed. -- Key words: Cold stress, carbohydrates, inflorescence, grapevine, coulure.

This thesis delves into three categories of femmes fatales: the ones of hard-boiled fiction/classic noir and contemporary noir. Moreover, it generates several comparisons among those aforementioned categories, and extrapolates on them. Third wave feminism and how it draws relevance/is significant to the Bound and The Last Seduction films is additionally explored in this thesis. This thesis will discuss the similarities of the femmes fatales of the '30s/1940s-50s and contemporary noir (1980s-90s), while delving into differences between them.
