Tulse Luper is a fictional character, created by film director Peter Greenaway.
Character overviewTulse Luper is mentioned in Greenaway's early films The Reincarnation of an Ornithologist, Vertical Features Remake, The Falls and The Draughtsman's Contract, and appears as the major character in The Tulse Luper Suitcases. In this film, it is suggested that he is a fiction created by Martino Knockavelli, a childhood friend who feels responsible for his death in an accident. Character analysisIn an interview given with salon.com, Peter Greenaway stated "Tulse Luper is a sort of alter ego created many years ago -- Tulse could be said to rhyme with the pulse in your wrist, and Luper is a corruption of the Latin for wolf. So how about "danger lurking at the very door of your life?" It has also been mentioned by Greenaway that the construction of Tulse Luper was based on "a cache of old photographs in a trunk" of a gentleman at a car boot sale whose weathered countenance resembled Samuel Beckett.[2] Beckett's literary influence has been reflected in Greenaway's work.
