RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Dr Strangelove or How I Learned to Read Kubrick's Conceptual Universe A1 Torrado Mariñas, Laura A2 Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid K1 Filología Inglesa AB The present paper intends to explore Kubrick's Dr Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb in light of his using a number of creative devices and some features, such as the use of symmetry and lightning together with the fascination with human psychology and its possibilities, which will be later explored and fully implemented in his more successful films, usually better considered by critics. Therefore, I will argue that some of the much acclaimed features of his better-known productions, such as the quest for humanity that will be developed in 2001 or the preoccupation with double morals and human morality in general that will be put forward in Eyes Wide Shut are already present in Dr Strangelove, conforming what I will refer to as 'Kubrick's conceptual universe'.
