Ending
The end scene seems most blatantly musically aligned with Judy. The love theme reappears as soon as Scotty says “I love you” and when Judy has a chance to defend herself and try to explain her love; here the theme rushes back to the audience, in a fast pace, as Judy rushes to explain herself as quickly as she can before she looses Scotty. When they embrace, it is Judy who first sees the nun appear. The music suddenly stops; Scotty has no indication of this visual interruption, so the music can’t represent his perspective. It has to be Judy’s. ("Farewell/The Tower"-another case when the stinger represents knowledge only Judy can have) After she falls to her death, the theme briefly reappears as Scotty regrets the loss of his love, Judy still haunting him even though she is gone. In the end, the love theme belongs more to Judy, and Scotty’s identification with her, rather than with Scotty himself, changing the audience’s perspective, adding a final layer of vertigo to our own comprehension.
