Whereas, in the movie, the reader has no choice but to follow the plot laid out in front of them. No longer can they picture the characters in their own way or come up with their different portrayals. The fate of the story, while still unpredictable, was highly influenced by the way the characters looked, spoke, and presented themselves on screen.

    In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.

  • Film Adaptation of Louisa May Alcott´s Little Women

    1139 Words  | 3 Pages

    Alcott’s Little Women was well interpreted considering her story was efficiently maintained and her message was clear. Armstrong’s film is rewarded by being considered one of the most successful adaptation of this classic novel. Armstrong did a fantastic job focusing on the main events in the story while including enough background detail in his screenplay to represent the characters through dialogue and actions and descriptions of the lives of the March girls. Despite the altered reactions of the characters from the text, the same emotional impact was created. Overall, as part of the audience to both Alcott’s novel and Armstrong’s film, I conclude that the two are complementary to each other.

    “The Princess and the Pea” is such a story that illustrates certain elements that make it so – a simple but magical (in the literary sense) plot, quick but identifiable characters, a tone suitable for both children and adult, and layered themes. His stories have since opened up doors for children’s stories, the physically and culturally boundless possibility of tales, as well as spurred a worldwide interest in the concept of re-telling. With new books, movies, and theater performances coming out each year based on his tales, in addition to technology allowing information to be even more widespread, it is unlikely that Anderson will loose his influence amongst kids and adults alike any time
