The Character of Jack the Ripper in the Early Work of Ingmar Bergman Abstract A short tale about one of Jack the Ripper’s earliest childhood memories is the literary debut of Ingmar Bergman from 1944. The character of Jack is often considered as an early alter ego of the Swedish director that represents an extraordinary combination of tenderness and cruelty. As the narrator of the story, Jack reports on the event that took place in his childhood. The story of murder, which will repeat itself in his adult life, can be interpreted as a projection of the author’s fears and anxieties, which were related, among other things, to the birth of his younger sister. Jack’s character will reappear repeatedly in Bergman’s subsequent works, especially in his early films from the 1940s, such as Crisis, and his presence will often be associated with the motifs of macabre, sadism but also love.  VL - 2019 IS - Volume 14, Issue 2 PY - 2019 SN - 1897-3035 C1 - 2084-3933 SP - 89 EP - 99 DO - 10.4467/20843933ST.19.009.10313 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-litteraria-uic/artykul/miedzy-czuloscia-a-okrucienstwem-postac-kuby-rozpruwacza-we-wczesnej-tworczosci-ingmara-bergmana KW - Ingmar Bergman KW - Kryzys KW - okrucieństwo KW - Kuba Rozpruwacz ; Ingmar Bergman KW - Crisis KW - cruelty KW - Jack the Ripper.
