Life, the Universe and Everything ‧ 1982
The regular early morning yell of horror was the sound of Arthur Dent waking up and suddenly remembering where he was.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Waking up brings an immediate memory of where Arthur Dent is, followed by a yell of horror. Calling the sound regular turns alarm into a morning routine. The comic contrast lies between the familiar rhythm of getting up and a reaction that would ordinarily signal something exceptional.
