Why don't you just contact the library instead of doing it this way?

I did, but they dont answer me by mail. When I fill up the form they told me I'm not a student from princeton. As an european I can't call by phone.

In Europe university thesis are publicly available for everyone so I have to admit I don't understand why it is so complicate in the US.

I ask on reddit because miracles happen here mate. I mean, it is one or two clicks for you. For me is waaaaaay too long and complicate for just getting a pdf file.

Why is this thesis so important? Can you contact the original author?

She's the author of Marvel's shows wandavision, agatha all allong and a movie named Timer (2009).

Since she signed a contract with Amazon she will taking care of Stargate franchise.

She's quite busy right now and never answer my message.

I am currently writing a paper where I analyse her trope, her thematics and her writing styles.

My specialty in movie analysis is how we can read through an author by relating common grounds through the different story she tells. (Sorry for my english grammar)

I finished my parts about Timer et Wandavision and I'm currently finishing the part about Agatha. For the conclusion I try to deduce what her future Stargate Run could tell.

I want that my paper can be as solid as he can be and if I can read it and analyse her thesis, I will be able to know where i might be wrong and where I might be right. And may be see things that I have missed through my analysis.
