This is series of collages made for my article «”Jaws”: the story of one chase» published on DailyJaws project

What kind of connections can we see in «Jaws»? Let’s look deeper in the sea, where black shadows are hidden, and we will know why not only sharks have their jaws!

No man is an island. And so do books and movies. Influence of one story on another is very interesting to study. The way authors use their literary inheritance opens many interesting connections. Peter Benchley’s book has many circles of meanings, based on classic literature, history, and Steven Spielberg’s film added more connections to it. Let’s see behind the curtain and find out how «Jaws», «Moby Dick», and «The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber» are tied together and more!
