After having read the novel and watched the film adaptation of A Lesson Before Dying which format do you think is more effective in conveying the theme of the story?

Answer 1

A film adaptation of a novel changes the overall telling of the story, especially when it comes to the most important characters. The setting and chronological order of events hardly changes much, but usually, the characters are the most different. In Ernest Gaine's "A Lesson before Dying", the film lacks in emphasizing racial conflicts and depicting the personality of the characters; when in the novel, their personalities were much stronger.-chichy A film adaptation of a novel changes the overall telling of the story, especially when it comes to the most important characters.
