Summary

This quote, attributed to American writer Alfred Hitchcock, suggests that watching violent content on television, such as murders, can serve as a means for individuals to release or relieve their personal hostilities or frustrations. By observing acts of violence, viewers may find an outlet for their suppressed emotions. Furthermore, the quote humorously highlights how the commercial advertisements that interrupt such programming can generate their own conflicts or annoyances, thus introducing antagonisms even in individuals who initially lacked any.
