Hitchcock's use of Free Floating Anxiety

A study of how Hitchcock uses Freudian phenomena of free-floating anxiety to aid in generating suspense which enhances the illusion of reality in his films

'...So to clarify, free floating anxiety is anxiety that attaches itself to any and all possible sources of danger and in the act of attaching itself to a danger it makes that danger something specific to fear. Free floating anxiety can be created by repression of failing to understand or predict something. It can be created by repressing guilt and by repressing socially and morally unacceptable wishes as they constitute social and moral failures. '
