Literary Approach–Novels into Films
Similarities:
Both film and lit share a common nature as discourse (ecriture)
Both are textual and intertextual
Both can foreground their constructed nature
Both can elicit the active collaboration of their readers/spectators
The difference between verbal and visual expression is so great that the “faithfulness” becomes a very relative notion.
Yet the urge to comparison is nearly impossible to refuse.
